Meet Ove (Rolf Lassgård), an isolated retiree with strict principles and a short fuse - the quintessential angry old man next door. Having entirely given up on life, his days are spent in a constant monotony of enforcing housing association rules and visiting his beloved wife Sonja’s grave. Ove’s somewhat contend existence is disrupted, however, with the arrival of a boisterous young family who move in next door. Heavily pregnant Parvaneh (Bahar Pars) and her lively children are the complete antithesis of what ill-tempered Ove thinks he needs. Yet, from this unhappy beginning an unlikely friendship blooms and Ove’s past happiness and heartbreaks come to light. Based on the international bestselling novel by Fredrik Backman, the award-winning A MAN CALLED OVE is a wistful, heartwarming tale of unreliable first impressions and a wonderful reminder that life is sweeter when it’s shared.

Really enjoyable, engaging and darkly funny film. Rolf Lassgård and was great in his role, as was the cat and the other cast members.

Very well performed throughout by the ensemble; interestingly and expertly shot, with great sense of place; the story of a man who has taken all that life can throw at him and is unsurprisingly grumpy, but remains capable of great generosity and occasional heroism. There should be a little of Ove in all of us.
