Entertainment Reviews:
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.

Rating: 2/5 --
Not very funny, not very sad, not very believable, and not very interesting.

Guardian
A Man Called Ove is maudlin and sugary but it offers the same pleasures as all those other books and films about grumpy old men looking for redemption.

Independent (UK)
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
3.5 stars out of 4 -- As Ove, Lassgård gives one of the year’s best performances. He’s well supported by the other actors, but this is a rich, complex performance that is both funny and moving.

Rating: 3/5 --
A Man Called Ove is exactly as advertised: a funny, feel-good piece that is safe and agreeable (and nothing more).

The Lonely Film Critic
[H]eartwarming....In a way, A MAN CALLED OVE is also kind of a message picture, its finale insisting that the best route to cultural continuity is community, not ethnic exclusivity.
New York Times
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.
