From what I've read elsewhere the movie fairly accurately presents the early life of Astrid Lindgren author of children's books such as Pippi Longstocking. Well acted & written. A small criticism is the left untold later part of her life where she marries and has a second child as well as the process of her becoming a writer. Also, the sacrifices she made to visit her first child under foster care in Copenhagen.
