Ove is a man of few words, of staunch principles and strict routines. He doesn’t like his neighbours (or their cats) or their ways and he faces enforced early retirement without his beloved wife who recently died. However, beneath this grumpy exterior lies a story of pathos and sadness and we see life change for Ove when new neighbours move in.

“A Man Called Ove is both dourly funny and affecting. A bad-mood feel-good movie.” – New Zealand Herald
