Ted Gärdestad’s unusual breakthrough is unprecedented in Scandinavian pop history. In the early 70’s, a hysteric Ted fever occurred, and the masses were fascinated by his joy, energy, talent and amazing songs. During the night, Ted became Sweden’s first teenage idol. Ted – Show Me Love is a story about one of our greatest composers, his unwavering relationship with his brother Kenneth, to the music and to life. Ted’s fate affected an entire nation. His music has in many ways defined Swedish pop, with his brilliant lyrics, full of passion, love, pain and hope. (The Norwegian International Film Festival)

The makers filmed this all too sunny for my taste. The sun still doesn't shine in Sweden, let alone in the head of Ted Gärdestad, whose quick rise to fame made a fine mess inside of it. He didn't live to a great age (he committed suicide by jumping in front of a train) and his success was probably mainly in his home country. I have to admit I didn't know a single song of his. However, I quite liked some of the songs in A Moon of My Own. Anyway, I expanded my musical horizons again, so watching this movie was definitely no waste of time for me. (65%)
