    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 .

    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

    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.

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

    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.

      If you say radio, you have the right O sound, and it's close to book unless someone has a strange accent.

      @@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.

    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.
