Critics Consensus: Becoming Astrid pays tribute to a beloved character's creator with a biopic that proves the story behind the scenes is just as timelessly engaging.

Throughout "Becoming Astrid," August acquits herself brilliantly; the woman we come to know is a tangle of impulses and qualities, and feels vibrantly alive.
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.
Pippi Longstocking has sometimes been called an icon of feminist girl-power. If "Becoming Astrid' makes anything clear, it's that the character's creator was something of one herself.
This film about an exemplary woman, made by women, is as much a pleasure as it is a lesson.
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.
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.
(Alba) August brightens the screen with a performance that begins full of youthful excitement...and then matures right before our eyes.
Anchored by a brilliant performance by Alba August, this is a charming-yet-realistic small gem of a film.
It's more about the evolution of an attitude, a mindset, and a philosophy on life than a single book or character.
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.
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.
Alba August is incredible as the world-renowned Pippi Longstocking author, but #BecomingAstrid also finds an engaging and completely organic manner of foretelling how outstanding and resonant with children a writer she would become
