"This is a beautiful piece of Scandinavian film making that held me spellbound from the first minute. The story of Astrid Ericsson's (later Lindgren) early life unfolds lyrically, with sensitive handling of the many controversies that shaped the children's author. While the cinematography is beautiful, and all performances are great, Alba August carries the film with a magical performance as Astrid. Every moment is perfectly told through August's acting, and caught by the director" [url=

The film it tonight! 7:30 Casa Luz 'Becoming Astrid' ('Unga Astrid'): Film Review | Berlin 2018 The early adult life of Astrid Lindgren, the spiritual mother of such timeless children’s heroes as Pippi Longstocking and Karlsson-on-the-Roof, is explored in Becoming Astrid (Unga Astrid). Pernille Fischer Christensen’s biopic might feel quite modern because of its fluid use of loosely handheld camerawork, but purely in terms of the narrative, this is a very conventional coming-of-age story about a young woman in pre-war Sweden. Though framed by a few scenes in the 1980s, the bulk of the film focuses on her youth in the first decades of the 20th century, as Lindgren transforms from a local newspaper editor’s secretary into the unwed mother of her married boss’ child, much to the displeasure of her religious parents. While her little boy grows up in Denmark, away from prying eyes, the future giant of children’s literature has to try and make a life for herself in a man’s world. by Boyd van Hoeij The Hollywood Reporter - Movie News
