Britt-Marie Was Here (2019)

Britt-Marie is in her 60s and has never held a job, instead focusing on housewifing for the last 40 years. She walks away from her marriage the minute she finds out her husband is unfaithful and secures a job as a youth soccer coach hours away. Though she knows nothing about kids or the game, she buckles down and gets to work and well, you get it.

This movie is ripe for an American adaptation. There were so many gaps in the storytelling and the children (with the exception of one) weren't given any distinct personalities. Britt-Marie herself is so buttoned-up that I wasn't even sure what, exactly, she was feeling. I think this is supposed to be a female "A Man Called Ove" -- it's by the same author -- but we never really got to the heart of Britt-Marie, and that's a real problem.
