You & Me Forever - film review

This coming-of-age drama about friendship and growing up is a mostly vacant film. But very pretty
Young and wild: Julie Andersen and Frederikke Dahl Hansen in You & Me Forever

A Danish coming-of-age drama that is in every way inferior to, but overly reminiscent of, 2003 US indie gem, Thirteen. A decent, cute teen, Laura (Julie Andersen) dumps her normal crowd and gets caught up in the dysfunctional dramas of a more extrovert and wild peer, Maria (Frederikke Dahl Hansen).

Laura's concerned parents and a troubled local boy are idealised, while two trysts expose female flesh for no especially good reason. Director/writer Kaspar Munk has a good eye (cinematographer Soren Bay swishes the camera around nicely, capturing the inebriated joys of late-night forays). So a mostly vacant film. But very pretty.
