Title: A Man called Otto-Review
Post by: Barry on May 07, 2023, 06:58:49 PM

A Man called Otto-Review

This is a good, old fashioned,  movie.

I miss movies like this and I am scared there will be very few of them in the future.  There were no rocket ships, Jet fighters, plans to conquer the earth or anyone with super powers.

This a a quiet story of a man called Otto. He is played by Tom Hanks, who at first, seems disagreeable, but always real, human.  The movie tells his story, both past and present.  And you begin to understand the character and the people around them.

It’s mostly a quiet movie, with some humor, but it is never over the top in what it wants you the believe.  In other words, the characters and the cat, seem real.

The movie was absorbing and we really enjoyed it. We saw it streaming so I can tell you that Netflix visual was very good but the audio was just okay. Except, towards the end, the bass got good.
