En av Toves stora styrkor är att filmen inte förolämpar mig genom att övertydligt förklara precis allting med stora skyltar där det står vad jag ska känna eller förstå.

Alma Pöysti spelar Tove Jansson med smittande entusiasm. Filmen om konstnären, författaren och illustratören som ung, skippar det högtidliga anslaget och undviker även ett traditionellt ”från-vaggan-till-graven”-upplägg.
