A biographical film about one of Sweden's most famous authors seems like a really interesting idea - and in some ways it does succeed, whilst in other ways not so much.
On a technical level, the movie looks good. The cinematography, cutting and editing is good and the acting is mostly pretty good.
The potential is somewhat lost though with very little focus on Astrid Lindgren's authorship, and Alba August, an otherwise incredible actor, conveys a little too much of a childlike character. All of this might be somewhat deliberate though, which somewhat justifies it. Many of these films want to focus on things besides what made them famous; a portrait of the actual human.
Overall, it's not really a very bad film, it's somewhat flawed but has some good going for it.
