4/5

This Swedish dramedy, based on a bestselling book, works beautifully as a story about reinvention, but also acts as a reminder that life doesn't begin or end when other people decide it should.

Through absurd, tender, and slightly awkward moments, the film constructs a simple portrait of a woman who begins to fill the void she had left for years. [Full review in Spanish]

It sometimes can be a bit much in the melodrama and comedy departments, a little try-hardy perhaps, but it’s otherwise a gentle, sweet and heartwarming bit of sentimentality whose core emotions ring true.

As soon as I finished this movie yesterday, I felt immediately lighter, like I could accomplish anything, and that life isn’t over just because I’ve reached a point in it where the starting line looks further away than the finish, catch my drift?

A silly but warm praise to life choices that are not conventional and that's why I like it. Einar and Angneta are minds who get each other and have their own language. Feel good movie but with nice message. I enjoy it!

It’s so nice to see Swedish cinema bringing itself forward. This kind, quirky and original drama price evokes every emotion and sums up all moments we may face in reality, so beautifully. The acting is sublime and the visuals are second to none. Congratulations to the director.
