A Man Called Ove (2015) - 115 min

Country: Sweden
Director: Hannes Holm
Cast: Rolf Lassgård, Bahar Pars, Filip Berg & Ida Engvoll
Ove is an angry old man who recently got fired from the railway company. He was the former president of the block association where he lives and now he is the only man who follows the association rules. Due to the recent death of his wife, Ove has given up on life and decides to kill himself to join his wife as soon as possible.
Sweden’s official Oscar submission for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 89th Academy Awards and also made the shortlist of Nine films to be considered for a nomination at 89th Academy Awards. Lassgård was very good as Ove and one of the best performances that I have ever seen. I really enjoyed his serious comedies and well supported by the other actors and a cute cat. The important flashback scenes of the movie were shown at the right time. Overall, it's a wonderful movie and highly recommended too.
Verdict: Great
