We Are the Best!

Sep 27—Oct 1, 2025
    Part of
  • Classroom Rebels
  • and
  • BAM Film 2025
Directed by Lukas Moodysson (2013)
With Mira Barkhammar, Mira Grosin, Liv LeMoyne
We Are the Best! is a story of three young misfit girls growing up in the early 80s Stockholm. Pixieish, mohawk-sporting Klara and her best friend Bobo are 13-year-old rebels looking for a cause. Despite having no instruments—or discernible musical talent—the two put all their energy into forming an all-girl punk band, recruiting their shy, classical guitar-playing schoolmate Hedwig as a third wheel. With tender affection for its young characters, We Are the Best! paints a joyous and sharply observant portrait of the rebellious spirit of youth and growing up different.
