59 year-old Ove is the block's grumpy man. Several years ago he was deposed as president of the condominium association, but he could not give a damn about being deposed and therefore keeps looking over the neighborhood with an iron fist. When pregnant Parvaneh and her family move into the terraced house opposite Ove and accidentally back into Ove's mailbox it sets off the beginning of an unexpected friendship.
Critic Reviews:
- " Hannes Holm's Swedish comedy drama beautifully explores the life of the neighbourhood's resident old grump. " – FILMINK
- " here will be tears and laughter as it unfolds. It is darker and smarter than typical American drama/comedy which is actually a refreshing change of pace. " – Film Threat
- " A Man Called Ove is both dourly funny and affecting. A bad-mood feel-good movie. " – New Zealand Herald
