Critic Reviews of "A Man Called Ove"
Globe and MailFebruary 17, 2017A Man Called Ove hits all of the genre's sweet spots, without ever tipping into the saccharine.
Toronto StarFebruary 16, 2017Shamelessly, but also quite movingly, hits all the required notes of the most pandering of feel-good Tinseltown sagas, with its story of a grouchy guy who turns out to have a heart of gold and a past worth sighing over.
San Diego ReaderOctober 21, 2016It starts well, but the deadpan humor quickly runs out of gas.
Washington PostOctober 20, 2016The moving twists and turns of the love story and the bright comedy elevate an otherwise familiar story line. The mix of genres works, too.
Boston GlobeOctober 13, 2016Lassgård won't let you off easy: A scene in which Ove weeps hopelessly before the magnitude of his loneliness will bring tears to the eyes of anyone who has suffered a loss.
Arizona RepublicOctober 13, 2016Lassgard manages to keep us from completely hating and giving up on him at the beginning of the film - no small trick - and allows us to care for him without engaging in maudlin sentimentality at the end.
FILMINK (Australia)April 17, 2017Hannes Holm's Swedish comedy drama beautifully explores the life of the neighbourhood's resident old grump.
Daily Telegraph (Australia)April 05, 2017Ove stands out from the pack because of a beautifully-nuanced performance from veteran Swedish actor Rolf Lassgard. There's nothing obvious about Pars' performance, either.
Herald Sun (Australia)March 29, 2017A mighty performance from Lassgard goes close to selling this tricky material to all customers.
The AustralianMarch 24, 2017As a cautionary tale, A Man Called Ove makes its points with some success and both Lassgard, as the infuriating yet ultimately sympathetic Ove, and Pars as the intelligent and resourceful Parvaneh, give stellar performances.
Sydney Morning HeraldMarch 22, 2017It's a dour but likeable combination of humour and pathos, mixed with rage.
