A Man Called Otto

miaparker shared a tip "Looking forward to this adaptation, as I absolutely loved the book that this story is based on — and the other movie adaptation was very enjoyable — But Tom Hanks as the curmudgeonly protagonist here, I definitely gotta see… I hope it’ll be good; everything he does is usually always great. (Release date: 12/25/22)"

ian shared a tip "This movie was excellent and I am very surprised that I hadn’t heard more about it. Heartwarming and sad at times but also uplifting and funny. This one is definitely worth seeing"

bella_nicole42 shared a tip "9/10 I just saw it in theatres and I loved it. WARNING: suicide is a very present theme in this movie, right off the bat. This was a pitch black comedy and a very heartwarming story. I laughed. I cried. I cried some more, along with everyone else in the theatre. I don’t think there was a dry eye there. This is a very well made film that you should see. Tom Hanks knocks it out of the park with this one. All the supporting actors are very fun too."

raniab shared a tip "What an incredible movie and here I thought it could never live up to the book but boy was I mistaken. After all, is there anything that Tom Hanks touches that doesn’t turn to gold? Beautiful, touchy and just one that you’d watch over and over or when you want that ‘life is beautiful’ type of feeling. Be prepared to cry - happy tears perhaps"

coobs shared a tip "Oh my gosh this movie soooooo good. I will give a warning the topic of suicide comes up a few times. Other than that I highly recommend this movie. The acting is great and storyline is awesome. Don’t walk to see this movie RUN!!!!"

johnnie_waste shared a tip "This is a very good movie, both a sad and a touching movie. Tom Hanks did an amazing job on this one. And his real life son plays a younger version of his character, who also did an amazing job. Highly recommend this one."

gabrielle_grosbety shared a tip "This was a beautiful, warm-spirited film that emphasizes the power of loving, community, and finding beauty in the everyday and people 🥰☀️"

heathbar shared a tip "#triggerwarning because this movie contains some serious themes, but totally a #tearjerker and pulled at me in ways other movies on this topic don't. I related so deeply to the central character, and being able to witness it in 3rd person in this medium broke my heart. 5/5 ⭐, be careful everyone."

asaltysoul shared a tip "I loved this movie just as much as I loved the book which is so so much! It’s a tearjerker about grieving and how it affects people differently. My heart hurt for Otto. This movie made me cry, laugh, and cry again🥲 the book will always hold a special place in my heart."

midnite_rider shared a tip "As only Tom Hanks can, you'll fall in love with the grumpy old man in the neighborhood. Add this to the long list of Hanks characters that he brings to life so realistically that you'll feel like you know him. This is a definite watch, but doesn't really need to be seen in the theater. It doesn't really benefit from the large screen or sound system. 8/10"

book_nerd09 shared a tip "Loved this movie so much! The cast was perfect, every actor playing their roles to perfection. And of course, Tom Hanks. He was the perfect Ove/Otto. I haven’t laughed so hard, or cried so much over a movie in a very long time. The sarcastic remarks had the whole theatre cracking up, which made the flashbacks and sad moments hit that much harder. By the end of the movie, there wasn’t a dry eye in the whole theatre. This was truly a masterpiece, and Tom Hanks really deserves an award for the love and care he put into this role. 10/10 recommend!"

amanda_9077 shared a tip "This is such a beautiful and wonderful picture of community and finding your joy of living and the love of your neighbors! The movie has a great way of emphasizing drama and comedy. Tom Hanks does and excellent job on film once again!"

Doodle.123 shared a tip "It is a really good movie but definitely not light hearted.It includes suicide attempts so maybe not best for young children. Even though it is a sad movie some parts are still funny."

dawn_1153 shared a tip "Just seen the movie,I never read the book So I had no idea what I was in store for it will have you laughing. crying and sometimes both at the same time. It’s was sad, and funny and very endearing, it touched you in all the ways possible to feel For every character. And when I was walking out of the theater with my husband and my 82 year old father-in-law I was very happy I had a grumpy old man living with us. A must see !!!!"

hallie_brown_4122 shared a tip "A great movie that puts you at the edge of your seat. The characters are so heartwarming and the ending sad, but overall, it's a nice flick."

mlhawkins shared a tip "A really good movie HOWEVER TONS of triggers. Definitely look it up the triggers if you have any. I wish someone had warned me not to see this. I kept thinking about leaving and cried the whole movie but I stayed for the entire movie."

azin_e shared a tip "Both thumbs up! Highly recommended! Only Tom Hanks could turn this movie, based on the novel by Fredrik Backman, into a masterpiece!"

eric_mcbride shared a tip "A very heart warming movie.. very much enjoyed it. One of the better movies I've seen. A real eye opener into the world we live in"

casey_jo_jasper shared a tip "This movie is phenomenal, and a must see. However, triggerwarning there are strong themes of depression and suicide. Make sure you are in the headspace to watch something with those themes. But, if you are, it is not to be missed. It is a tearjerker with comedic elements, and is so well done in how mundane and normal everything feels. The flashbacks are excellent and Tom Hanks proves once again why he is in a league all his own."

allison_haag shared a tip "Both the book and movie were wonderful. I love how it elevates the beauty of a simple life. One where you work with your hands to create and fix things, not stare at screens. You invest in people by being present, not just accumulating as many followers as you can. It was my favorite book from last year and would recommend the movie as well."

candice_b_5143 shared a tip "This is the package deal. Multi-generational connection. Feel-good and full of laughs and tears. Touches on hard topics with just the right amount of pressure on the heart strings."
