After watching some more or less recent and acclaimed dramas from the north I lost interest in this one, expecting it to be something like that again. But I was quite wrong with that, I thought A Man Called Ove was a successful and fairly fresh tragicomedy / feel-good film with a nice light-black humor.

The film gives meaning to a philosophical phrase well-known in Spain that is not so well-known abroad, namely "I am me and my circumstance", which indicates that who you are now is largely determined by your circumstances. In the film, for example, we see how Ove changes every time due to events in his life until the ultimate grunt that he is with the objective he has. For example, when his wife was alive he was a completely different person with a completely different goal, and before the accident he and his wife were also very different people with very different goals. That sentence continues with "and if I don't happen to my circumstance, then I don't happen to me" (click).

An entertaining snack with light depth and feeling. 3.5*

Beautiful movie. Can't say otherwise. Right dose of drama. Right dose of humor.

What a difference with Dutch drama films haha unbelievable. After the monstrosity of just (Heaven) this is exactly how a drama movie should be.

A film that, especially towards the end, responds to your feelings. Some here call it sentimental, and secretly it kind of is. Some very artificial ends are made here and there to arouse sympathy for the main character Ove and they are not always prosecuted after fulfilling their function (an example is the gay boy who appears and disappears[/ spoiler]). And yet: the humor and that bit of melancholy feel-good keep the film upright in my opinion. A film that you must experience above all.
