It is another European warm film, with a slow film rhythm and simple and sentimental background music. As the protagonist Ove goes to death again and again, he eloquently tells the old man's bitterness and loneliness, his tragic life.
Ove is kind in heart, but mean on the surface, full of hope in life, but has a turbulent fate, wants to go to death and end his pain, but gradually he is nostalgic for the world. The film uses ingenious narrative techniques to perfectly integrate such a strong dramatic conflict into the main story, and the love line between Ove and Sonia, which is always interspersed, makes the whole film beautiful, warm and touching.
Ove wanted to commit suicide again and again to follow his deceased lover, but he gradually understood the value of life in getting along with his new neighbors. When he finally gave up suicide and started a new life, he passed away peacefully. In the last scene of the movie, the deceased Ove and Sonia are on the train they first met again. The picture will always stay at the moment when they hold hands. Ove's tragic life can be regarded as the most beautiful end.

A Man Called Ove quotes

  • Ove: Some people say that fate is the result of our own foolishness.

  • Ove: Hey! What are you doing?

    Mähät: It scratched Prince.

    Ove: Throw another stone and I'll sew a doormat with your mop!

    Mähät: It is a chihuahua. And the cat certainly has both rabies and plague.

    Ove: Oh, yes. Clearly, you do, too, but we do not throw stones at you.

    Mähät: You still think you can do whatever you want? Slimy fucking old man. I'll tell Anders.

    Ove: Go ahead, tell him. If you can make someone who drives an Audi understand. Four zeros on the grill and a fifth at the wheel. If that dog pees in our area again, I'll electrify it. Idiot!
