I was looking forward to this, as I love biographies and knew nothing about the author/artist of the The Moomins.
Tove wants to be an artist - she wants to be taken seriously as an artist. Her dad is a well known and respected artist, her family are artistically talented. Dad sees her talent as wasted and their relationship is a little strained.
Tove's doodles result in The Mooomins, children's characters I was never a fan of, nor were my children, or anyone I know.
Anyway, we see a bit of the working and rise in popularity of her Moomins, but we see more of her sexual exploits and 'relationships'.
I was not drawn to, nor liked Tove's character. Nice drama with the family and initial rivalry with dad, but not the most interesting or engrossing film/bio.
