Ove\u2019s world is unexpectedly turned upside down when a young family move in next door. Despite his initial resistance, Ove slowly forms a bond with his new neighbours and discovers a whole new side of life.<\/p>\n<p>Based on the best-selling novel by Fredrik Backman [translated into more than 40 languages], this Swedish hit is a bittersweet but charming tale of one man rediscovering himself after a devastating tragedy. Darkly comic but sensitively told, this is a true crowd-pleaser held together by a remarkable lead performance.<\/p>\n<p><em>A strong contender for feel-good film of the year.<\/em>\u00a0&#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.empireonline.com\/movies\/man-called-ove\/review\/\">Empire Magazine<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>A touching comic crowd-pleaser that may call for a tissue or two by the end.<\/em>\u00a0&#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/variety.com\/2016\/film\/festivals\/a-man-called-ove-review-1201722435\/\">Variety<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>A black comedy with a big heart.<\/em> &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/film\/2017\/jul\/02\/a-man-called-ove-review-black-comedy-with-hefty-feelgood-factor-rolf-lassgard-bahar-pars\">The Guardian<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Tom Hanks to star in and produce A Man Called Ove<\/em> &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/news\/tom-hanks-star-produce-a-man-called-ove-movie-1041804\">Hollywood Reporter<\/a><\/p>\n<p>EN MAN SOM HETER OVE |\u00a0Sweden\/Norway, 2016 | Language: Swedish | 116 minutes | Cert: 15A<\/p>\n<p>Director: Hannes Holm<\/p>\n<p>Cast: Rolf Lassg\u00e5rd, Bahar Pars, Filip Berg, \u00a0Ida Engvoll<\/p>\n<p>A short Irish film, <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.secondtononemovie.com\/\">Second to None<\/a><\/strong> [7 minutes], will be shown before the feature.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Season 17 concludes with our &#8216;bonus&#8217; 11th film, the Academy Award nominee for Best Foreign Language Film, A Man Called Ove.\u00a0 It&#8217;s one of the feel-good films of 2017, and&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1892,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12,16],"tags":[25,18,20,35,22,21,19,33,34,23],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/corkcineclub.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1891"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/corkcineclub.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/corkcineclub.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/corkcineclub.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/corkcineclub.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1891"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/corkcineclub.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1891\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1898,"href":"https:\/\/corkcineclub.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1891\/revisions\/1898"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/corkcineclub.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1892"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/corkcineclub.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1891"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/corkcineclub.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1891"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/corkcineclub.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1891"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
