I have only seen two of the five films that were nominated to best foreign language feature film at the Oscars: 'Land of Mine' and 'A man called Ove'. I haven't seen the one that won the Oscar (The Salesman), but I think this one, and Land of Mine, although completely different, had the potential to win.But anyway, this movie is just excellent in every way. The acting was perfect, I think the protagonist did a great job, probably worthy of being nominated for Best Actor. The secondary members of the cast did an excellent job too. I certainly liked how good the characters of Ove and Sonja looked together.And the plot and script never stay behind. The script was spontaneus, true and hilarious; this, along with the plot and the photography, creates a story that perfectly shows how invaluable is to have someone beside you when times are so hard; to have someone who makes you see that life is truly worthwhile and that everything is not lost.10/10. Although I still have to see The Salesman, by now, I think that it was worthy of the Oscar, and of more nominations. Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

The movie is genius, with it containing the perfect combination of emotion and lighthearted wit into a plot that of which is quite depressing. The main character is a misunderstood character with a huge heart and emotional past, while the other characters are highly likable as well. I highly recommend watching this movie, for it will be a heart fulfilling experience that will make you both laugh and cry.
