The switch between past and present gives such a wonderful insight into the character of Ove and what were originally annoying character traits became things I found wonderfully endearing.
Almost every single character turned into someone I became extremely attached to. Especially Ove and Parvaneh. Their adorable budding friendship that turned into a found-family felt so natural and that’s what makes it so beautiful. A grumpy traumatized old man who becomes steadfast friends with a witty and bubbly young woman who sees past his rough exterior.
