Story:
Comedy drama directed by Marc Forster. A Man Called Otto (2022) follows Otto Anderson (Tom Hanks), a grumpy isolated widower who is very set in his ways with strict routines, and a short fuse. When a lively young family moves in next door, he meets his match in quick-witted and very pregnant Marisol (Mariana Treviño), leading to an unlikely friendship that will turn his world upside-down.
We’ll add the best quotes once the movie is released and we’ve had a chance to watch it, but for now, here’s a small selection.
