Event Details

Join us on Monday evenings for a virtual movie discussion! Before each session, we'll announce a new film choice from Kanopy, a free streaming service accessible with your library card; you can then watch the movie at your leisure and participate in a patron-led discussion via Zoom. We look forward to seeing you there!

Ove, an ill tempered, isolated retiree who spends his days enforcing block association rules and visiting his wife’s grave, has finally given up on life just as an unlikely friendship develops with his boisterous new neighbors. Based on the bestselling novel.

Nominated for Best Foreign Language Film of the Year and Best Achievement in Makeup and Hairstyling at the Academy Awards. Winner of Best European Comedy at the European Film Awards.

"…hits all of the genre's sweet spots, without ever tipping into the saccharine." - Barry Hertz, Globe and Mail
