I mean yeah within the first 5 minutes when he stops hanging himself just to complain about someone’s driving I knew I was going to enjoy this film and I for sure did; wasn’t expecting this to be quite so comedic but ended up really enjoying this one. My Top 100
Harvey 🎉 🎆 🎉May 6, 2026Well, being a huge fan of Fredrick Backman’s writing, I did wonder whether the audio visual translation would truly do justice to his trademark nuances between the lines. However, was quite impressed as Hannes Holm manages to condense the story neatly, capturing its heart…
Michael JamesJan 17, 2023A Man Called Ove didn’t make me tear up. A Man Called Ove made straight-up ugly cry. After seeing the American remake, A Man Called Otto starring Tom Hanks, I was determined to watch the original Swedish film. While I actually quite enjoyed A Man Called Otto, A Man Called…

Sweet and terrifically depressing. Really tender moments surrounded by the frustration of a man that lost the only thing he didn’t want to.
Daria likedA Man Called Ovea worthy interpretation of the book
Canon Railey lovedA Man Called OveTragedy can be overcome. We can’t do anything alone. We need each other, often before we even know each other. We are all connected through the truth that we all have our own stories. Compassion for others is the extension of love beyond death for someone who embodied compassion.

always seen this on bookstore shelves but didn’t know there was a movie released. Ladies, never settle for less. He did everything to ensure sonja gets to teach 😭 Makes me so emotional seeing an old man try to commit suicide several times but all is well in the end.
lex lovedA Man Called OveThis film definitely has a way with emotions. It makes you laugh but tugs on your heartstrings when you least expect it. All in all it was a beautiful film in every way.

I looooved the book. They did a really good job making it into a movie. A few missing pieces but just as much of a tearjerker.

It’s also overlong and sentimental. But it’s a vivid, warm and amusing portrait of a real man, someone whose life began in darkness, experienced the light of a great love and has collapsed into a pit of self-pity.

A Man Called Ove has some tear-jerking moments, but the film is so carefully designed — with long, circular takes that seem to surround the main characters at crucial fateful points — that technique often triumphs over sentimentality.
