Once again Hollywood poaches ideas. Tom Hanks is another Man Called Otto/Ove. One wishes Francois Truffaut's sublime ethos could be spread over Avocado Toast and Mimosas to prescribe the return of original screenplays. Going to get this to…

An excellent and accurate adaptation from the book, this movie warms your heart while breaking it at the same time. Ove is the grumpiest of old men but his heart is too big which allows the drama and comedy to blend seamlessly. Strongly…

I keep hearing this was much better that A Man Called Otto with Tom Hanks. I think they practically used the same script. There is a little bit more in the Ove version, but I much prefer watching movies in English.

I saw this after watching Tom Hanks' "A Man Call Otto," and prefer this version. As can be expected from a European film, it has a much greater depth of emotion and truth. It's heartwarming, funny, and sad, just like life.

I didn’t read the book but I’m sure it is a wonderful novel. Excellent story. Very good movie. The acting is great and the timing of the humor is spot on! And I really like that big cat, how could you not love that cat even if you have…

As Adam West's Batman once said "Some days, you just can't get rid of a bomb!".
Ove here has a similar problem and along with his grumpy old man antics provide much subtle witty humour.
But it's also a wonderfully heartwarming love story…

I really enjoyed this film and look forward to reading the book so that I can spend even more time with these characters. This grumpy old man with a heart of gold has won me over.

The movie was sad but heartwarming, teaching us a lesson on how important devotion is in our lives. The main character Ove was an isolated man, the tragedies that he went through along with his loneliness have induced him to end his life…

I had tried to read the book, but I really couldn't get into it and it's a shame because it had been on my reading list for years. However, I did like seeing it come to life through this movie. It follows the book (what I read of it)…

I was really excited about reading the book but unfortunately I couldn't get into it at all. So I'm very glad that there is a movie version b/c it is truly wonderful. Great acting, very funny despite some disturbing scenes and I'm guessing…
