I am Ove. I read it once a month and cry every time. It is my story.

Mark omits to mention the single best aspect of the movie that makes or breaks it - and that is the EXCELLENT performances, in particular the lead character .

A man called Ove is a film, and book, that manage to perfectly balance the weird combination of genres of dark comedy/feelgood.

It completely won you Ove?

Saw this movie by accident, but glad I did.

I’m 13 and I am learning Swedish so I chose this film and even though I am so young this film touched me although I could predict some bits and somethings I couldn’t understand but I love this film and after reading the book in English I loved the book even more much recommend

Scandinavian would say ooo-veh. Loved the book, I will buy a copy. Can't find the movie anywhere.

Fantastic film. Just stumbled accross it on Prime and wasn't sure but so glad I risked it

I really like this movie, is a bit cheesy and too much of a crowd pleaser at times but the characters are so charming that I cared so much for them. The score is fantastic too.

Your God Wilfred the song other the closing credit is exceptional

I loved this film. it was a tad predictable but damn, it was a good and emotional watch.

A man called Öuvöe.

Thanks for a really interesting and nice review! 🙋‍♀️🇸🇪☀️

I like that he drove a Saab

Saab .vs Volvo dosen't matter...as long as you dont getr a BMW.

The acting was phenomenal in this movie. It is what truly makes the movie compelling. I will have to see if the American version does it justice.

From a Swede, Kermode's pronunciation was closest. (Does it matter?) (No.)

Ove.. is a classic swedish stereotype. When i grew up in the 80:ies, Ove´s was all around. I kid you not.

SaaB was a great car....

Great review. Also liked the movie. Looking forward to the remake with Tom Hanks as Ove :)

In the US, it is pronounced O-Vee. Believe me, I know…..

I quite liked the 100 year old man... not the man himself or the flashbacks but I thought the present bits were fun.

There's thousands of swedes in London. Just ask one.

How do you say "BBC Radio" ? is it RadiÖU? The O in Ove is said as the o in the end of radio.

@@Erika-br8xo It was a try to explain this for a none Swedish person, it's impossible for them to get it right anyway since we in Sweden and Norway use a pitch dialect, so we can't even explain it to ourself, it just sit there. Try to explain the difference between tomten and Tomten where one is your land and the other is Santa Claus. I bet you say it right but just try to explain why.

Not seen original, but enjoyed A Man Called Otto.

Brilliant movie. Not exceptional. But worth watching. Grew on me. Grumpy old man trope still has charm.

Moronic critic. Provides sub-zero substance. The analysis is superficial at best, yet he talks with *such overconfidence*. Also, instead of wasting 30 seconds on the pronunciation, which they completely butchered anyway, why not talk about what makes this movie so special instead - in a more profound and rougher manner? A somewhat intelligent 14yo could have done it better, by just interpreting the short blurb on the back of the DVD case.
