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!
Without much stash around it, it tells a love story anybody can relate to or believe in. That they are lesbians, to me a plus, has nothing to do with the story - it's a love story. It helps that it's Swedish - such a great language - and so far from Hollywood.
A lot of great lesbian love stories has been made around the world in the last 20 years: Intimates (China), Fire (India), Produceing Adults (Finland), Between Two Women (GB), Aimée & Jaguar (Germany), I Can't Think Straight (Middleeastern, but UK) and (of course) Imagine You and me (UK) - not to mention all the rest from eastern Europe, Malaisia, Japan and South America - and all the other countries who are breaking the boundaries. Cudos to you all.
But "Kyss Mig" kind of beats them all of the above for me because of it's honesty. All hypocrisy was set aside - it was what it was and people got hurt. I like that. To me that's life. Get a few blows - give a few blows. We are what we are - we do what we do.
The two leads, Ruth Vega Fernandez as Mia and Liv Mjönes as Frida, gives beautiful performances, as do Lena Endre as the mom and Krister Henriksson as the rather confused and in denial father of Mia. And I loved Mia's brother, Oscar, played by Tom Ljungman. Actually - the only one I did not get a feel of was Tim, the boyfriend of Mia, played by Joakim Nätterqvist. Maybe a script thing but he came over too one dimensional to me. As for cudos: Great one to you, Alexandra-Therese Keining, writing it and for directing it !!! AND to you Josefine Tengblad, producer, playing Elin, Fridas girlfriend. Great job!!
And for "rumpanbar" (meening in Swedish "bare ass") who gave it a 1 !! Are you for real ???
All in all: I love this film !

Kiss Me will tear your heart in pieces.
Films with a lesbian theme are often designed to make you root for the women in love, without any reservations. You are certain of the pair from the beginning. Imagine Me and You, a classic movie of this theme, even has you rooting for a marriage to end and an innocent man's heart to be broken.
Kiss Me doesn't romanticize the struggle these people go through. It shows the love, the passion and, most importantly, the pain. The pain of denying who you are and the pain of being betrayed and losing who you thought you were going to spend your life with. Because Kiss Me doesn't take these things lightly, my heart was breaking for each of the characters. As the story progresses with beauty and grace and without the rushed feeling of many love at first sight type movies, Mia starts to realize that there is only one way. Despite the sacrifices and the pain, there is one thing she has to do - And I bet you will find yourself realizing it with her.
Apart from the story being told with grace, beauty and a passion for every single character, the film is beautifully shot in the amazing scenery of the Scandinavian countries. An instant classic in movies with a lesbian theme, but a must see for everyone with a for romantic movies.

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 loved this film. It is beautiful and brave, with great Swedish actresses (and actors).
I suppose the story is quite "cliché" but that's nothing you think of while watching it, at all. The film is very emotionally intense. And again, the performance from the actresses, Ruth Vega Fernandez and Liv Mjönes is amazing.
There's also a lot of parts that you can relate to (straight or gay) and that's very positive. As it is touching in many ways you do also get a few good laughs on the way! :)
(Can also add that I adore where the setting take place. Especially because I've been to them places myself. One scene is shot at my school which of course makes it funnier to watch)
Anyhow, I strongly recommend you to watch it, it won't leave you unaffected..
