Tears at the Castle for a man called Ove
What a beautiful film, what a gorgeous little cinema! Londoners who want a cinematic treat need to head to the Castle cinema on Chatsworth Road in Homerton, and catch ‘A Man Called Ove‘. There are proper armchairs, a great range of drinks and food, and friendly staff in this recently restored old picture house (paid for through local crowd sourcing). And if you loved Frederik Backman’s wonderful book (previously reviewed on markontour), then you’ll adore the film. But bring a big box of hankies, because there was a lot of sniffling on Friday night, although it is ultimately a hugely uplifting tale of a man with an outsized heart.

One Response to “Tears at the Castle for a man called Ove”
“We always think there’s enough time to do things with other people. Time to say things to them. And then something happens and then we stand there holding on to words like ‘if’.”
