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.

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?
