Holm’s adaptation is a darkly funny, tragic, and ultimately heartwarming tearjerker about the life of one lonely but extraordinary man. -- Grade: B+
Entertainment Weekly
Rating: 3/5 --
It's not a crime to make a sentimental film - it's a viable genre and sensibility - so there is much to commend A Man Called Ove for amid its calculating machinations.

Incorporating fluid flashbacks and snippets of narration that refreshingly serve to enhance rather than distract, director-writer Hannes Holm maintains a gentle, lyrical flow while coaxing fine performances from a diverse cast.
Los Angeles Times
Rating: 3/5 --
Not a film to change your view of the world or anything like that, but certainly a pleasant enough sit.

Little White Lies
Unless you are simply opposed on principle to feeling uplifted by a mordantly humorous melodrama, you will dab your sad old eyes at "A Man Called Ove."

Lagniappe (Mobile, AL)
Rating: 4/5 --
The mellowing of a grumpy widower isn't exactly a new idea in filmed drama, but thanks to a bleak yet morbidly funny tone and some clever narrative shenanigans, the Swedish box-office hit A Man Called Ove wholly reinvigorates the concept.

Times (UK)
You wouldn't expect one of the most charming, heartwarming films in recent memory to center on a man repeatedly trying to commit suicide.

Product Description:
An irritable, elderly busybody (Rolf Lassgård) spends his days making his neighbors miserable with his grousing and demands for order, but his crabbiness hides a deep grief for his deceased wife, whom he hopes to soon join. His clumsy attempts at suicide bring him into contact with the Persian family next door, and his growing friendship with them helps him reconnect with life. Bahar Pars and Tobias Almborg co-star. Based on the best-selling novel by Swedish writer Fredrik Backman.
