Our take

This adaptation of the best-selling Swedish book takes its quirky premise to chaotic, hilarious extremes. Following a centenarian on the run from his nursing home, this Forrest Gump-like odyssey through the annals of the 20th-century features appearances from Stalin, Reagan… and Einstein’s brother!
