A Man Called Otto (2022) is a heartwarming comedy-drama film directed by Marc Forster and starring Tom Hanks in the lead role. It is based on the 2012 novel A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman and serves as the second film adaptation, following the 2015 Swedish version.

The story follows Otto Anderson, a grumpy and lonely widower who has lost his will to live after the death of his beloved wife. Bitter and rigid in his ways, Otto spends his days enforcing neighborhood rules and criticizing his neighbors. However, his life takes an unexpected turn when a lively and warm-hearted family moves in next door. Marisol, the spirited and quick-witted mother, refuses to be put off by Otto’s gruff exterior and slowly forms an unlikely friendship with him.

As Otto begrudgingly gets drawn into their lives, he begins to rediscover a sense of purpose and connection. Through moments of humor, deep emotion, and reflection, A Man Called Otto explores themes of grief, loneliness, second chances, and the power of human connection.

Tom Hanks delivers a deeply moving performance, bringing both comedy and heart to the role of Otto. The film strikes a balance between emotional depth and lighthearted moments, making it an uplifting and touching experience. Released in late 2022, A Man Called Otto received praise for its storytelling, Hanks’ performance, and its poignant message about love, loss, and the impact of kindness.
