Movie of the Week: Kiss Me (2011)

It's been a few months since my last "movie of the week" post, so I'm going to start it up again. If anyone has forgotten how it works, I recommend a movie on Monday from the movies I watched the previous week. For example, today is January 7th, so that means that my recommendation will come from the week of December 31st, 2012 to January 6th, 2013.

So, let's get on with this week's movie recommendation...

Kiss Me (2011)

 

Directed by Alexandra-Therese Keining

Starring: Ruth Vega Fernandez, Liv Mjönes and Joakim Nätterqvist

*Note: For some reason, I can't post any pictures, so for right now, no poster will be added. It's something I will work on, though.

"MIA (Ruth Vega Fernandez) and FRIDA (Liv Mjönes), both in their thirties, meet each other for the first time at their parents' engagement party. Mia's father, Lasse (Krister Henriksson), is about to get married to Frida's mother, Elizabeth (Lena Endre), which will make Mia and Frida stepsisters. Lasse's daughter, Mia, has not visited her father in years and arrives with her boyfriend, Tim (Joakim Nätterqvist), with whom she is about to get married. As Mia and Frida get to know one another, strong emotions begin to stir between them. Their relationship will turn everything upside down for everyone close to them with dramatic consequences." (IMDB.com)

 

 

I absolutely loved this film! While the film was predictable (I knew how it was going to end before hit the play button), I found it to be sweet, well written with great acting. It definitely brought the romantic side of me out, but since I'm currently single, I will have to wait until another time to put the romance to use. Anyways, I'm buying this DVD because I know I'll want to watch it again.

 

It does need to be said that it's a Swedish film, so it does have subtitles, but please don't let that deter you from checking it out.
