This biopic about the artist Tove Jansson opens the Festival, which focuses on her relationship with her great love, not fully reciprocated. Leaving on a secondary plane other relationships that seem more interesting to us, such as the one she maintains with her father, this biopic is conventional. There is an unrequited double relationship, but the script unbalances her interest. Everything is in its place, but nothing stands out especially, except the work of the actress Alma Pöysti.
The Finnish film Tove (2020) was directed by Zaida Bergroth. It stars Alma Pöysti as Tove Jansson, "one of the most beloved Finnish writers/cartoonists/artists," according to a knowledgeable reviewer.
Tove was the creator of the Moomins, important characters in Swedish-language books and comic strips. (Jansson was a member of the Swedish-speaking minority in Finland.) She also wrote novels and children's fiction.
Alma Pöysti is a brilliant actor, and she makes Jansson's character come alive. This is important, because Pöysti is on the screen almost all the time. The movie rises or falls based on her skills.
The movie has two major plots. One plot revolves around the fact that Jansson wanted to be a recognized artist, not a cartoonist. Another plot involves Jansson's sexuality.
We saw this film at Rochester's wonderful Dryden Theatre, presented by ImageOut, the great LGBT film festival. (Of course, all safety protocols were in place.)
Tove has an IMDb rating of 7.2. I thought it was better than that, and rated it 8.

I seldom give 10's but this is a brilliant movie, wonderful ly acted and directed and cinematography just fantastic.
It touched me deeply in its rawness and honesty and though not familiar with this artist before, was taken aback by the beautiful artistic work and the main characters journey into finding her way and her identity through her work.
I stand by scandavian movies and series being the best and possibly grossly undervalued.

I wish they could have found more subject matter, to make a film about a great artist and author, than to shove as many "bohemian artist drinking", "look at me, I'm dancing", and lesbian sex scenes, into this film as possible. It gets unfortunately dull pretty quick.
Simply made, yet well crafted, "Tove" tells the story of the author's life in the years directly following the second world war, and the relationships and influences that led her to fame.
Unfortunately (and it always feels rather mean to write this about a film based on real life), there simply isn't enough drama in the story to make it really engaging
It does somewhat fall into the "lesbian period drama" trope, but a little bit of gay scandal isn't a reason to seek out a film in 2022. And based on the reactions of characters in the film, it was entirely tolerated in Helsinki's "artistic" circles anyway.
Husbands don't seem to mind affairs, struggling artists still seem to have the means to visit Paris, and already-published authors of children's cartoons seem to make a big fuss about how they would rather be a painter.
People should be more upset by divorce and deceit and failure. "Tove" is just too nice.

- WissenswertesAlma Pöysti, who plays Tove Jansson, is the granddaughter of Lasse Pöysti and Birgitta Ulfsson, who worked with Tove Jansson and portrayed Moomin in the theatre and on TV in the series Mumintrollet (1969). That series was directed by Vivica Bandler, Tove Jansson's lover.
- PatzerTove is ordered to make an invitation card for Mayor Erik von Frenckell's 70th birthday, which would have been in 1957 and having done that, is ordered to make a wall painting in Helsinki City Hall, which was made in 1947, so the birthday would have been EVF's 60th.
