It's a dour but likeable combination of humour and pathos, mixed with rage.

Ove stands out from the pack because of a beautifully-nuanced performance from veteran Swedish actor Rolf Lassgard. There's nothing obvious about Pars' performance, either.

It starts well, but the deadpan humor quickly runs out of gas.
October 20, 2016
The moving twists and turns of the love story and the bright comedy elevate an otherwise familiar story line. The mix of genres works, too.

Hannes Holm's Swedish comedy drama beautifully explores the life of the neighbourhood's resident old grump.
February 17, 2017
A Man Called Ove hits all of the genre's sweet spots, without ever tipping into the saccharine.
March 29, 2017
A mighty performance from Lassgard goes close to selling this tricky material to all customers.
October 13, 2016
Lassgård won't let you off easy: A scene in which Ove weeps hopelessly before the magnitude of his loneliness will bring tears to the eyes of anyone who has suffered a loss.
March 24, 2017
As a cautionary tale, A Man Called Ove makes its points with some success and both Lassgard, as the infuriating yet ultimately sympathetic Ove, and Pars as the intelligent and resourceful Parvaneh, give stellar performances.
February 16, 2017
Shamelessly, but also quite movingly, hits all the required notes of the most pandering of feel-good Tinseltown sagas, with its story of a grouchy guy who turns out to have a heart of gold and a past worth sighing over.
October 13, 2016
Lassgard manages to keep us from completely hating and giving up on him at the beginning of the film - no small trick - and allows us to care for him without engaging in maudlin sentimentality at the end.
