Becoming Astrid's saving grace is Alba August. She is in almost every frame of this film, and gives life to what, on paper, amounts to a Lifetime channel biopic.

Though "Becoming Astrid" is unflinching in its depictions of Astrid's pain, it does not wallow. A shallower story would be rife with villains, but there are none here.
December 06, 2018
Director and co-writer Pernille Fischer Christensen has crafted a powerful coming of age story that is also a story of how society slowly transforms.

Christensen portrays Lindgren as a born storyteller but delves into the vital time in her development when confounding expectation gave way to building her own narrative.

It's more about the evolution of an attitude, a mindset, and a philosophy on life than a single book or character.

Pernille Fischer Christensen crafts an incisive, engaging portrait of the artist as a young woman.
December 06, 2018
Throughout "Becoming Astrid," August acquits herself brilliantly; the woman we come to know is a tangle of impulses and qualities, and feels vibrantly alive.

This film about an exemplary woman, made by women, is as much a pleasure as it is a lesson.

(Alba) August brightens the screen with a performance that begins full of youthful excitement...and then matures right before our eyes.

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.
