Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
It starts well, but the deadpan humor quickly runs out of gas.
– Scott Marks,

fresh:
The moving twists and turns of the love story and the bright comedy elevate an otherwise familiar story line. The mix of genres works, too.

fresh:
Lassgard won't let you off easy: A scene in which Ove weeps hopelessly before the magnitude of his loneliness will bring tears to the eyes of anyone who has suffered a loss.
– Peter Keough,
Boston Globe,

fresh:
Lassgard manages to keep us from completely hating and giving up on him at the beginning of the film - no small trick - and allows us to care for him without engaging in maudlin sentimentality at the end.
– Bill Goodykoontz,
Arizona Republic,

fresh:
Though our put-upon hero's gradual realization that he has much to live for is obvious from the get-go, it still is a pleasant journey from pawn to king - spiritually speaking, of course.
– G. Allen Johnson,
