This movie is based on an award winning book and a true story written by Mike Tourville. Astrid is a remarkable woman and she uses unconventional methods to change the lives of an entire community. She has a quirky personality and she doesn’t take no for an answer when she has decided you need her help!! Astrid and her husband are not pretentious and they live in a simple house. Astrid notices what is going on with people. She can sense when they are troubled or down on their luck. When she sees opportunities to help, she doesn’t shy away but dives right in. She is always smiling and happy even when she has a problem.
The story in this film is very good but I have a few things to say about it. Astrid is the lead character and couldn’t the production company afford for her to have a decent wig?? Also, sometimes the good parts are not just shown and stated but shoved down your throat too? 3 1/2* (I liked this movie)
