ClassyWas Excellent, smart action film.

Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

kjohoy Such a Lovely movie. I just Happened across this movie, I had Not heard of it but I fell in love with the main character. Grief can turn to anger when what is needed is love and to be needed. We all need a reason to go on.

SnoopyStyle 59 year old Ove Lindahl is a grumpy man. Even a coupon can set him off in frustration. His beloved wife Sonja had recently passed away. He had been voted out as the president of the homeowners' association years earlier. He's pushed into early retirement at his job. He is angered by the whiteshirts and people driving on the local pathway. He tries to commit suicide but he's interrupted every time. There is the new neighbor family and the Persian wife who insists on being friends. Each suicide attempt comes with his past flashing before his eyes.This is hilarious. It is heart-warming and then it's heart-breaking. Suicide has never been funnier. I love Parvaneh and her relationship with Ove. Ove's love of Sonja is touching. It is the most human of stories. The performances, the writing, everything is great.

Human This is a funny movie, perhaps it is tragic comedy somehow. The story is about a man that has a life full of bad events outside his control. When he is really young his mother dies and he is left alone with his father. So he grows up with his father. It seems as they only talk cars and not much more, but his father says that it is the only thing he needs to know in order to get by. In a way that seems more right, considering the outcome of his life events. You will understand it, when you see the film. Anyway, this movie really starts off when Ove is a older man living on his own. He looses his job and his life takes another turn. But on this way we get to see flashbacks to the life Ove has lived. The flashbacks make us understand Ove a bit more. I would consider it as Ove had a hard life, but he seems to have adapted to circumstances. He has also been good in accomplishments, when he has set a goal. You will understand that too, if you see the movie. I laughed a lot in this film, then at times it was tragic and there was nothing to really laugh about. It is about life, both joy and sadness and how you as a person can handle it. We are all different. Ove has his routines and we could say he likes routines. Every week he visits his wife's grave and talks to her. He tells her what is going on, as if she was still alive. I consider Ove a simple man, he likes his routines. Who doesn't? Ove is no different from other's that like routines. But then a new family moves in to the neighboring house and Ove's routines are changed. So what happens when Ove's routines change? Is it changing differently than all other strange events in his life? Well Ove is a interesting man. I would say a strong man, a man that adapts to the circumstances given. I like this routine-like movie with comedy and sorrow. It is a about a possible life, a life that someone could have. Ove is a unique person, who dares to be himself. I wish you do too. If you want to enjoy a good story in happiness and tears, then perhaps A man named Ove could help you with that? The part of Ove is well played, the actor seems like he is Ove himself. He makes laughter and convinces the viewer he is "Ove", even though it is all just fiction. It is not an action, it is not a drama, even though this tragedy contains drama too. It has a melancholic feel to it, but yet enjoyable with the possibility to bring laughter to those small moments of joy.
