francisco899 One of the best movies I have seen in this decade. The direction is so well done, the sory telling is not linear but efficient. A weird character that ends up gaining your heart. Everything is good or autstanding in this film. Direction, Art Direction. Cinematography, A gem that should be seen by everybody. Congratulations to all the people involved.

bdemarcobarrett Loved this film. The curmudgeon protagonist is so atypical. Not a movie I thought I would have liked, much less, loved. Saw the movie, then read the book, then watched the movie again. So against what you think it will be. The side characters play against stereotype, the right balance of laughter and tears. Just wonderful.

Ian (Flash Review)A man with whom only a special woman would marry is recently widowed. Ove who's kind heart is wrapped with sandpaper appears to be depressed without his wife and makes plans to join her in Heaven. Yet he keeps getting distracted by his daily tasks as a caretaker for his condo association where he is a pesky stickler for rules. This films is well- written, quirky and attempts to connect you with Ove through a series of flashbacks interspersed between his caretaker issues. Each scene is a unique experience with dry humor. Well-edited and paced, it is an oddly charming Swedish film.

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.
