We Are the Best! (2013)

The truest movie here about a first band, because it admits a first band is mostly noise, attitude and friendship. In Stockholm in 1982, two 13-year-olds, Bobo and Klara, start a punk band with no real instruments and no idea how to play them, then talk a shy, devout Christian classmate who happens to be a gifted guitarist into joining. Lukas Moodysson adapted the graphic novel by his wife, Coco Moodysson, and shoots it loose and close, so you feel the giddy back-and-forth of three kids who decide they are a band before they can play a song. Be warned: the music is deliberately terrible for most of the running time. That is the charm, and the moment it starts to click is a little thrilling.
