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.

Throughout "Becoming Astrid," August acquits herself brilliantly; the woman we come to know is a tangle of impulses and qualities, and feels vibrantly alive.

[I]t’s unlikely this will be the last we will have seen of impressive young lead Alba August, who could use her impressive turn here as a springboard for greater things to come.

Rating: 3/4 --
This film about an exemplary woman, made by women, is as much a pleasure as it is a lesson.

Anchored by a brilliant performance by Alba August, this is a charming-yet-realistic small gem of a film.
