Movie Reviews

Reviews:
"[I]t’s unlikely this will be the last we will have seen of impressive young lead Alba August, who could use her impressive turn here as a springboard for greater things to come." - 02/21/2018 Hollywood Reporter


"[A] gorgeous piece of heritage filmmaking that chronicles a character-forming period in the young life of the Swedish writer born as Astrid Ericsson, who would go on to worldwide fame as Astrid Lindgren, one of the most beloved children’s authors ever." - 02/21/2018 Variety


3 stars out of 4 -- "This film about an exemplary woman, made by women, is as much a pleasure as it is a lesson." - 11/23/2018 RogerEbert.com


"Erik Molberg Hansen’s relaxed camera movements and fuzzy-soft compositions are quite beautiful, and the performances -- including the superb Trine Dyrholm as the baby’s Danish foster mother -- are pitch-perfect." - 11/22/2018 New York Times
