...boyfriends to her wedding on a Greek island so she can find out which one is her father, was an escapist trifle. And the production hardly disguises the frivolousness of what is onstage: the choreography, when it can be deciphered, is unremarkable; the costumes (a mix of disco-glitz and suburban soccer mom, with an odd preponderance of swimwear) are ho-hum; and the cast, headed by Louise Pitre as the free-spirited mom, is short on big names and big voices...

Not so in Sweden, where the idealism behind sex, drugs and rock and roll had not yet degenerated to three-somes, cocaine and leisure suits. Luke Moodysson, director of 1998’s well-received Show Me Love, tells the story of the Swedish commune Tillsammans, whose members are trying to piece their ideals into a life, until the arrival of one of the member’s bourgeois sister and her two reluctant children disrupts their routine...
