    I know it received multiple awards, but we never saw the Swedish original (A Man Called Ove, BP)
    It’s free on Amazon Prime right now. It’s a great representation of the book.

      I read the book a long time ago, and I'm pretty sure it was on a recommendation from someone on this site. It was a great book, a very good movie as well.

          Agree. I’ve seen the foreign film and it’s incredible. I’m sure this will be well done but it’s like remaking Manon des Sources.

We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

          • I watched A Man Called Uve on Amazon Prime. It was good.

            Also, Brit-Marie Was Here is worth watching although the ending was unsatisfying.

              For money.

              • I'm still enamored with all things Irish, so I'm excited to see the scenery in this film:

                  • I watched A man called Ove Friday night. It wasn’t as good as I hoped. The wife did a great job, but with the story, I couldn’t figure out what she saw in him short of some kind of Florence Nightingale syndrome where she wanted to fix him, considering he didn’t demonstrate any real redeeming qualities.

                    As far as movies portraying the virtues of cranky old men, I think I prefer the Bill Murray’s movie St Vincent.

                        • What a movie for Ray to go out on. I laughed - I cried - I cheered - all in a 2 minute trailer.

                          Can't wait!

                            One imagines Ray at the entrance to heaven, being asked what he did with his life, "Well, I starred in a number of movies, including Goodfellas, Field of Dreams...."
                            Unimpressed, Peter replies, "Anything else?"
                            "Cocaine Bear!"
                            "Well, then, come in in!"

                            At least I hope that's reflective of the standard.

                              • Wes Anderson movies are so identifiable, I suspected from the mere thumbnail that was one of his offerings. That's a veritable who's who of Hollywood actors, though. He always lands the big names.
                                Prepare to put mustard on those words, for you will soon be consuming them, along with this slice of humble pie that comes direct from the oven of shame set at gas mark “egg on your face”! -- Moss

                                There's three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who's got the same first name as a city; and never go near a lady's got a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, everything else is cream cheese. --Coach Finstock
