In the book on which this film is based, Fredrik Backman writes: “We always think there's enough time to do things with other people. Time to say things to them. And then something happens and then we stand there holding on to words like 'if'.”We all know someone like Ove ,a typical person who always wants to do things right and on time , everyone follows the rules etc. If it were today, he would be loitering on the streets insisting every single person had a mask on and social distancing rule enforced. He cannot just see anyone break any rules.But now, he is going through two life changing events: his wife is dead , and he has lost his job.Unable to bear the loss, he plans many different ways to kill himself. Unfortunately for Ove, each attempt is foiled by someone or something.But when an Iranian woman and her family move in, this becomes a new opportunity for him. In addition to showing Ove's relationship with this new family, the movie uses flashbacks to establish what kind of a person Ove is.But when an Iranian woman and her family move in, this becomes a new opportunity for him.In addition to showing Ove's relationship with this new family, the movie uses flashbacks to establish what kind of a person Ove is.There is humour, but is comes from Ove’s stubbornness as a creature of habit. Perpetually enforcing neighborhood rules nobody cares about nor adheres to, Ove can’t resist the opportunity to scold those who violate them. Yet, for all his crabbiness, there’s a level of selflessness inherent in Ove’s character.The film is just like Ove himself. Quietly moving, darkly funny, sweetly tender, incredibly sincere and oh-so heartbreaking.https://ift.tt/32qR0Ls via /r/movies https://ift.tt/3legaEg
