Fridays at 2pm on BBC 5 live.
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 .
Best actor was the cat
This movie was a huge hit in Sweden. Gonna be a classic in 10 yrs
Daniel Kindh we shall see. I feel tomi erdmann will though!
Or, you know, remade by Tom Hanks in just half the time..
@@Sephyricon haha I knew it!
It completely won you Ove?
Jeroen Admiraal oh wo lol.
Well someone had to say it.
😔
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
How is it going?
3 år senare, hur har det gått med din utbildning:)
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
A man called Ove is a film, and book, that manage to perfectly balance the weird combination of genres of dark comedy/feelgood.
Saw this movie by accident, but glad I did.
Scandinavian would say ooo-veh. Loved the book, I will buy a copy. Can't find the movie anywhere.
I loved this film. it was a tad predictable but damn, it was a good and emotional watch.
Fantastic film. Just stumbled accross it on Prime and wasn't sure but so glad I risked it
From a Swede, Kermode's pronunciation was closest. (Does it matter?) (No.)
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.
A man called Öuvöe.
I like that he drove a Saab
Ove.. is a classic swedish stereotype. When i grew up in the 80:ies, Ove´s was all around. I kid you not.
Thanks for a really interesting and nice review! 🙋♀️🇸🇪☀️
Great review. Also liked the movie. Looking forward to the remake with Tom Hanks as Ove :)
pffft, no. Tom Hanks didn't even have the right gruffness for his role in "News of the World".
@@jpaxonreyes Pretty sure Tom Hanks will pull it of 😉
SaaB was a great car....
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.

They say Ove many times in the movie, how can he first see the movie and then speculate how it's pronounced :-)
@@ytbabbler - Because he read the movie and because, as he said, he gets names wrong anyway. 0:31
Mayo's ready to tuck in to that MASSIVE bag of KFC btw xoxo (good lad)
Not seen original, but enjoyed A Man Called Otto.
How do you say "BBC Radio" ? is it RadiÖU?
The O in Ove is said as the o in the end of radio.
No it's not. It's like the o in book or cook
@@Erika-br8xo Well, I know how to say it, it's my language, I just question their O sound.
If you say radio, you have the right O sound, and it's close to book unless someone has a strange accent.
BTW. it's a 2 year old comment, it took a while to remember that I wrote it.
@@ytbabbler o:et låter ju helt annorlunda, det är rundare eller hur man ska beskriva det. Så säger ma inte Ove på svenska. O:et i book är kortare och rakare. Mycket mer likt o:et i Ove.
@@ytbabbler men om du använder svenskt uttal på radio, ja då har du rätt.
@@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.
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.
my, you are a salty old man.
