Review by ma-cortes

A heartwarming and attractive story about love, loss, and life. En man som heter Ove (2015) by Hannes Holm had deservedly a fine American remake: A Man Called Otto (2022) by Mark Foster. The picture shows that family can sometimes be found in the most unexpected places. It deals with retired Ove (Rolf Lassgård, role subsequently played by Tom Hanks) , a grump who no longer sees purpose in his life following the loss of his wife . Ove is a sociopath and doesn't like other people. Ove works for the neighborhood association and checks for every infraction by residents like bikes on lawns, parking permits not displayed correct inside cars and so on. Ove cancels his phone, electricity and gas accounts.. he vacuums his house.. He dresses immaculately. He has decided to commit suicide. Ove is ready to end it all, but his plans are interrupted when a lively young family moves in next door , and he meets his match in quick-witted Parvaneh (Bahar Pars , later role performed by Mariana Treviño). She challenges him to see life differently, leading to an unlikely friendship that turns his world around . Experience an agreeeable , funny , charming story with full of love and friendship . Fall in love with the grumpiest man in America !. Misery Hates Company !. Grumpy old men aren't born, they're made...

A sensitive fun and tearjerker film with touches of comedy dealing with camaraderie , friendship , family and love. Rolf Lassgård stars in this Swedish comedy film which was awarded Best European Comedy at the 2016 European Film Awards. The film is a moving story about Ove, a retiree and widower, who finds meaning in life again with the arrival of a young married iranian woman who moves in with her family next door. Through the friendship that is created between both roles, the question arises as to why there are people who live their whole lives bitter . There are good messages throughout the entire film, and the movie is very nice with lively moments that touch the heart, leaving an enjoyable feeling that once you leave the theater gives you good joy . Rolf Lassgård is terrific as Ove , a grumpy widower who is very set in his ways and meets his match in quick-witted and very pregnant Parvaneh, finely played by Bahar Pars, leading to an unlikely friendship that will turn his world upside-down. As director Hannes Holm explains the character of Ove is that figure who has an almost Shakespearean style and that it can be spread in all countries and languages . The film based on Fredrick Backman's bestseller novel "En man som heter Ove" .

This 'Feel Good Movie' displays a stunning and emotive cinematography from cameraman Göran Hallberg . Likewise , a rousing , stirring musical score by Gaute Storaas . This well-intentioned motion picture was professionally directed by Hannes Holm, delivering tears , sensibility and impressively moving scenes . Director often uses protagonists looking for happiness within different viewpoints of others, while looking at themselves as well , and he's passionate about telling stories which mean something to him .

This ¨En man som heter Ove¨ or ¨A man called Ove¨ (2015) was the subject of a good American remake titled ¨A Man called Otto¨ (2022) by Mark Foster with Tom Hanks , Mariana Treviño, Manuel Garcia Rulfo, Lily Kozub, Mack Bayda ,Cameron Britton, that results to be a nice reboot . Rating : 7.5/10 . Decent and good feeling film with a vigorous message . The pic will appeal to dramatic comedies enthusiasts .
