Alissa Simon of '' Variety '' called the film " one of the most intense and complex feature debuts to come from Sweden since Lukas Moodysson 's '' Show Me Love '' " , and wrote : " Aschan 's provocative visual language links pleasure and pain as she focuses on the arousing nature of unpleasant things . Carefully framed compositions that are near cliche ( a father cuddling his young child , a babysitter helping a youngster with teeth brushing ) take on fresh significance . ... Just as remarkably , Aschan draws convincing , naturalistic performances from her young non-pro actors while putting them in highly charged situations . " At the Gothenburg Film Festival , '' She Monkeys '' received the top competition prize , the Dragon Award for Best Nordic Film , with one million kronor in prize money . It also won the festival 's FIPRESCI prize . The film received the award for Best Narrative Feature , World Narrative Competition Section at the Tribeca Film Festival . Linda Wassberg won the prize for Best Cinematography at the Transilvania International Film Festival in Romania
