Kyss Mig is about Mia. Mia is about to marry her boyfriend, Tim before a heated piece of eye-contact with her new future-step-sister, Frida. From there, a relationship develops which is dragged out for the run time of a movie by Mia having conflicts about her sexuality and about her sudden attraction to a new person versus her commitment to her fiancé.
Kyss Mig is a really solid film. The script and directing is good, the characters have depth and the acting is fine. Kyss Mig is a fully competent piece of work that achieves what it set out to do.
My one wish it that it had a little more personality. Competent as the film was, I did find it a bit forgettable. Few specific moment stuck in my mind. I would’ve liked just a little more show of personal style or something from the director to take this movie from good to great.
If my one complaint is that there wasn’t enough personality though, that means it’s still a pretty good movie. Kyss Mig is a solid, romantic love story with a happy ending. It’s an an enjoyable watch and a good choice of a movie to pick if you’re a lady on a date with another lady.

Only one little complaint about this film, I’m not a big of them cheating on their partners and it does make me like them a little less. Ballsy move to cause you could lose a good portion of a audience over that. Nice touch with Frida cheating on her lesbian partner Elin (actually writer of the film Josefine Tengblad plays Elin) as you don’t really see that in WLW films regularly.
But besides that, Liv Mjones as Frida and Ruth Vega Fernandez as Mia have great chemistry and sell the romance very well. Doesn’t hurt both are easy on the eye. It’s a extremely well shot and acted film. The film had some money behind it during it’s production. Probably one of the reasons it’s held up so highly even today 13 years on. I do prefer the first half of the film to it’s second, it flows a lot better and I honestly like the chase more then what happens after. But we get a happy ending so that’s all we ask for.
