Our take

Nominated for two Oscars® (and a box-office hit in its home country!), this lovingly-crafted Swedish tragicomedy offers a refreshing take on cross-generational friendship. Poignantly capturing the sense of nostalgia that comes with old age, A Man Called Ove is a powerful ode to the act of sharing.
