Movie Reviews
Films & TV series, start at 1994
As with books, I have reviewed many films and TV series over the years. I will add these in alphabetical order, starting with some that have be adapted from books I’ve read that have a film based on them. I am transposing from my notebooks, the first of which reviews in 1994, Schindler’s List.
A Man Called Ove (rhymes with who-va) 2016, Swedish, subtitled.
DVD Netflix 3/16/22 9/10
A Man called Ove 9
A delightful film, subtitled from Sweedish. I look forward the the Tom Hanks version to drop sometime in 2022. I read the book for book group in January 2017, Sallie Bookman’s selection and I loved it. Odd how quickly one forgets main story line – the tour bus accident that changes their every day lives. As well the death of Ove’s mother, father, then Sonya, his wife. A funny and light story with deep human condition elements that are resolved in charming ways. It is easy to love all of the characters, especially grumpy Ove.
