Trivia
Although set in the Swedish town Åmål, not a single scene was actually shot there. All exteriors were filmed in Trollhättan, almost 100 miles away.

Goofs
When Agnes' disabled friend comes to the birthday party, a door bell is heard. However, when Agnes father answers the door the friend is at the bottom of the stairs in her wheelchair and is clearly unable to get to the bell beside the front door.

It was probably her driver who did press the door bell and left before he/she was seen.

Quotes
Elin: You know what my nightmare is? That I'll stay in Åmål. That I'll never move from here. I'll get kids, a car, a house... all of that. Then my husband will leave for someone younger and I'll be stuck with kids that just scream and nag. It's so fucking meaningless.

Crazy credits
At the end of the credits, there is a picture of two hearts with "COCO" between them. Coco is the name of director Lukas Moodysson's wife.

A very real movie

This was one of the best lesbian movies i ever seen. I can personally relate to the characters, and i believe that they portrayed young teen lesbians very realisticly, that is how we really are folks, none of that hollywood blonde bimbo stuff, that was real. There was nothing fake about this movie and i think the actresses were awesome! If you're looking for a real quality movie, i suggest you give this movie a chance!!
