A man called Ove Yesterday I went to the cinema with my daughter to watch an original and interesting film called “A man called Ove”. The plot was quite sad and fairly funny at the same time. It isn’t a big american production but I read the book one year ago and it was excellent and gripping, so when I knew that the film had been released I decided I had to watch it better sooner than later. Here is what I found, the plot is quite accurate from the book, it isn’t either fascinating or thrilling, it isn’t this kind of films. Its plot run easy and moving and you can get the solitude of his main actor (Ove) through the whole film. But, I’m sure you don’t get bored because the whole set of actors, either one with theirs own problems, catch you from the beginning. Brilliant and inspiring swedish film, it is as I would define it. Thank you in advance for your review.

A man called Ove

Yesterday I went to the cinema with my daughter to watch an original and interesting film titled called “A man called Ove”.

The plot was quite sad and fairly funny at the same time. It isn’t a big American production but I had read the book one year ago and it was excellent and gripping, so when I knew that the film had been released I decided I had to watch it better sooner than later.

Here is what I found, (if)the plot is quite close to accurate from the book, it isn’t either fascinating or thrilling, it isn’t this kind of films. Its plot was run easy and moving and you can get the solitude of his main actor (Ove) through the whole film.

But, I’m sure you don’t get bored because of the whole cast set of actors, either one with their own problems, catch you from the beginning.

Brilliant and inspiring Swedish film, it is as I would define it.

Thank you in advance for your review.

A Man Called Ove {Main words in titles are capitalized}

Yesterday I went to the cinema with my daughter to watch an original and interesting film called “A Man Called Ove”. The plot was quite sad and fairly funny at the same time. It isn’t a big American production but I read the book one {a} year ago* and it was excellent and gripping, so when I knew learned {or found out} that the film had been released, I decided I had to watch it better sooner rather than later.**

Here is what I found: the plot is quite accurate from the book, it isn’t is neither fascinating nor thrilling, it isn’t this kind of films. Its plot runs easily, and is moving,*** and you can get sense {or feel} the solitude of his main actor (Ove) throughout the whole film.

But, I’m sure you don’t won't get bored because the whole set cast of actors characters, either each one with theirs his/her own problems, catch captivates you from the beginning.

A brilliant and inspiring Swedish film, it is as how I would define it.

Thank you in advance for your review.

*"One year ago" is specifically 365 days earlier. If you meant last year, then it's "I read it a year ago/I read it last year."

**Or: "I'd better watch it sooner rather than later"
***A better way to phrase this is: "The plot is simple, moving, and you can..."
