I'm more than surprised to see that the non-flattering comments are mostly made by Swedish viewers...? Anyway,I usually don't write reviews about movies I watch or about books that I read, but KYSS MIG is a movie that certainly drives your attention. I've watched the film 3 times and today I also bought the DVD. It's not all about lesbian love (which by itself is a catchy theme),it is mostly about choosing to follow unconventional paths in your life & have the guts to stand up for your choices & respect them. We have seen many films arguing with such issues, and KYSS MIG is one of the most well told: facts which the two partners have to face and how realistically are attributed through the dialogues. The story unravels so smoothly, the filming is captivating, the landscapes are romantic by their own, the hole atmosphere is so authentic. The flirting scenes (for which I wanted more)is the best part about this movie: you can almost catch the sexual tension between the two leads, it is so well done by reaching its climax with the love-making scenes, which are so believable. I cant see where the comments about morality fit in order to characterize it a good or a bad movie, although some users do. In real life you cheat & you get cheated, you dump & you get dumped, there is no guarantee for eternal love & devotion. Closing, I strongly believe that this is a must see film, especially by those who can appreciate the real life romanticism.
YES, undoubtedly this is the one of the best romantic, emotional, touchy movie I have ever seen in my life.Amazing performance by Mia and Frida, magnificent landscape of Sweden and fluency and realness in every scene made me impatient, excited and happy throughout the film.The film is not just about a love story between two woman, it is also struggle for today's people who believe in true love.
On the one side Mia (Ruth Vega Fernandez) is a bit shy with Frida as normally at the beginning in their relationship.But after seeing honesty, warmth, sincerity in Frida's eyes, she began to look differently and gave her love for the Frida especially with her spectacular eyes.
On the other side Frida( Liv Mjönes) draws a character who is not afraid of being seen by everyone for her love for woman and she was also insistent about the possibility of a real love between tho woman.Moreover she also abandoned from her girlfriend and expected it from Mia in the same way.For this reason we see many Fridas in our today's world.
To sum up, love is everywhere and can be in every way and no one prevent it in real life.

I like the storyline to be frank. I can understand that we have no control over our heart and that's what we can understand from this movie. The two cousin sister's are fell in love with eachother and then we get amazing story. Some people say it wrong as they're cousin sister's in relation but love is blind and can't be controlled so in my opinion it's not bad. This movie shows the reality of society that how society look to these people who are not straight like us but guy's they're also human and we should respect there decision. They've also equal rights to live a life as they want. So never look them like other, they're same as we are. Love the direction of the movie. Must watch movie 🍿 Peace!

This film deserves more than one viewing, in fact, watch it a few times and see if you don't find yourself swept away by its many charms. Much of what goes unspoken in dialog is expressed in the subtlety of the the superb performances by Liv Mjönes, Ruth Vega Fernandez and the stellar supporting cast. Swedish superstar Lena Endre, so enamored of this production, became one of the films producers. The story's strength, sensitive writing and direction by Alexandra-Therese Keining brought together an ensemble of Sweden's finest actors for this relatively low budget indy film.
Another thing to keep in mind, for America audiences in particular, is this film portrays European culture which has sensibilities pronouncedly different in the expression of day-to-day human interactions than their American counterparts. How these differences play out on film is quieter and more complex than your typical rom-com or American style drama. What goes unspoken is caught and translated within the context of every expression in every frame of film. The gorgeous cinematography and lushly sublime score adds subtext to every scene, while light and color underscore the blossoming of true love.
The fresh-faced, no make-up, every-day hair and simplicity of style, lends an authenticity which engages one into the story and lets you feel the characters in every scene. Character development and the pure talent of the supporting cast, (Krister Henriksson, Lena Endre, Joakim Nätterqvist, Tom Ljungman and producer actress Josephine Tengblad) add a layer of complexity that rounds out and fills in the on-screen canvas.
Mia's anxiety is palpable and her outbursts make one as nervous as if she were sitting next to you, all the while Frida's inexorable charm and playfulness fills you with the giddiness of first love which turns out be the real story of this film. Oh, and the on-screen chemistry between Frida and Mia is a breath-taking testament to great casting and inspired performance.
So, watch "Kiss Me" again with a fresh eye, trained for how much can be said in a single look or gestures ripe with context, subtext and beautifully delivered one word lines like, "Absolut" or "Precis." Notice how that makes you feel, then remember when you found that brand of magic in your own life--or go out and find it.

I don't see how anyone could rate this movie poorly. It had a great plot and great actors. Too many times have I seen movies like this and they always turn out bad so it was great to see one that didn't follow the majority. Personally I found the actress that played Mia amazingly talented. She is able to show every emotion just through her big beautiful eyes. Throughout the movie her face would be devoid of any expression but her eyes showed everything. It was great. The only reason I gave a 9 out of 10 is because I speak English so I had to read subtitles and that takes away a bit from the greatness of the movie. I recommend it highly and you won't be disappointed.
Cons: English subtitles
Pros: Ruth Vega Fernandez (Mia) was exceptional. The playfulness between Mia and Frida. Basically everything was great about the movie. Even the cute kid brother Oskar and the fiancé.
