A not so subtle way to say he's not racist, unlike Eastwoods character in Gran Torino. Ove (the og character) is just a "perfectionist" who suffered alot of tragedies in his life that made him quite introvert socially AND extrovert regarding peopel who "stand" out of the group. And the new neighbouring family helps give him the lust for life and also sort of shows him the "road not taken" since he never had children himself.

I don't think I have experienced a louder movie audience, there was so much laughter and joy expressed. One of my most memorable movie going experiences 😂

Finally saw this movie with my family. It was like an extended version of the beginning of Up. We just lost my brother and we cried at every other scene. Such a beautiful story that resonates with anyone that has experienced loss.

I was an extra in the film. I was in the opening scene at the hardware store. You see me two times in the scene. You first see me talking to the hardware store clerk before he goes to Otto with the rope then you see me a second time waiting in line. I was wearing a grey winter jacket with jeans. I got to do an internship on set while they were filming. The internship took place where they were filming scenes where Otto watches the kids over. Being an extra and doing internship was a fun experience. Marc Forster and Tom Hanks were kind people and it was nice to work with them. It’s something I’ll always look back on and be happy that I did it.

I went to a press screening for this movie a few weeks ago and I really liked it. My dad really loved this movie and I think the performances here are great. I recommend people to see this movie if you haven’t because it can be a good time in the theaters.

Me and my friend (in our thirties) were also probably the youngest in the theatre here in Finland, and I loved the atmosphere and seeing and hearing people getting emotional and then laugh a lot. A man next to me was occasionally wiping off his tears, I was silently crying even from the beginning. A lovely film that feels nostalgic and good for the soul.

Rolf Lassgård, the actor who plays Ove, lives in my hometown of Gävle and Ive seen him quite a few times wandering about. Feels somewhat surreal seeing a depiction from Hanks and having Chris talk about this adaptation.

The Chevy vs Ford rivalry between Otto and Reuben was such boomer humor

Chris, I love hearing you talk about the state of movie theaters right now. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't even realize how dire things have gotten over the past three years. A theater was recently built not all that far from where I live (otherwise there were no options before), so I'm hoping to start seeing movies in the theater a little more often. It's been a while, but you've definitely raised that awareness in me.

In my country we don't have those films in theaters. Only Hollywood and Bollywood movies are showing. Occasionally in a film festival they will shoe these films.

I’ve always loved your reviews and respect you immensely as a film critic. You’re always on the side of the audience and do a good job at pointing out why critics don’t like a certain movie while also saying “but… this is actually a good movie” this is one of the better films I’ve seen in a while and it’s refreshing that you agree on the merits of the film.

You've matured so much over the years, wearing your core values more on your sleeve. I appreciate your growth and aspirations as a person who's grown in front of the camera. We've grown with you(our tastes too & core values, too). Thank you for your constant(fair) opinions & perspectives. Best of luck with Shelby Oaks.

I was pleasantly surprised with this movie. Haven’t seen the original, but as a first time viewer of this specific story, I think it’s very well done. I’m a sucker for emotional nostalgia driven drama especially about old people and family, so cried a lot in this one. My favorites are definitely the flashbacks though. I get they’re kinda annoying but they do a really good job fleshing out his past and connecting those to what’s happening to him right now as an older person.

I LOVED your analysis of “Stay”!!! I had NO idea you’d gotten praise from EM and, more importantly, the filmmaker himself!! Yayyy for you! Being that you are also a filmmaker AND knowing how you feel about “Stay” (I love and was extremely intrigued by it also; esp. after your analysis!!!) I’m sure it came as the MOST awesome feedback EVER; you damn well deserved it!!!♥️♥️♥️ This tidbit makes me very happy❣️

My mother and I watched this film together earlier tonight and I wanted to see what other people think of it. For both of us, in slightly different ways, Otto was a relatable character for us. I grew up kind of different from other millennials, so for me, having to pay for something you didn't get is infuriating. It's not about the 33 cents, it's about fairness, respect for the customer and the aggravation of someone not listening to you or them being totally apathetic to the situation.

I would be honest: I've seen the original (Swedish) movie and loved it. Then rented out the book (by Fredrik Backman) from the library and I was so blown away by the even wittier written story that I bought it in two languages and have been cherishing Backman as my favourite writer ever since. You might believe me then when I say that I adore this story - and, as a result, I'm frankly scared to watch the US remake. Judging by the trailer, it appears to be simplified and almost syrupy... I'm glad, though, that Chris liked it and I'm genuinely asking those who read the book or seen the original: what do you guys think? Is it worth a shot?

My son says this is his favorite book, and we just saw the movie. We both enjoyed the movie( I haven’t read the book). There were a few scenes from the book that he missed a little, but he really liked the movie too.

I'm sure the flashback scenes carry a whole different weight, for audience members who's had the unfortunate experience of outliving a loved one. And I'm sure the scenes go a long way towards helping those same people feel "seen". There's a lot of value in that, even if it slows down the movie for viewers who haven't lived through similar events.

Thanks for another amazing review! I have watched for years and your review’s always make my day!

From the trailers I thought this would be a super light and fun film. Did not expect it to be so serious and dark. Honestly loved it.

We appreciate Chris’s reviews. He goes into detail with explaining the story of this. God bless him and everyone.

I liked "A Man Called Otto". I think it is piercing, and powerful. I laughed, cried, and I would see it again. Tom Hanks and Mariana Trevino did an amazing job. You can't help but love them both.

So happy to hear this film is good. And I wanted to thank you Chris on this video cause I’d figure you’d have a better chance of seeing it, I happened to see your review on Butterfly Kisses this week and watched it and it’s became my favorite horror film, so thank you

I love this movie. Tom Hanks delivered a marvelous performance and Mariana Trevino was just wonderful. For me any movie that portrays the power of community and friendship is a win. I was also the youngest person in the theater which is amusing because I'm in my 40s. I hadn't seen that many old women cry in a long time.

My Mom and I watched this movie yesterday and couldnt stop crying ¼ into the movie. I havent cried so much in a really really long time. Lovely story.

Even as someone thats younger and hasn't experienced everything Otto experienced, I still really identified with this movie as someone who has had to be reminded of the beauty in the world. Truly was a great movie, and everyone involved did an amazing job.

Kick ass man, congratulations on the Marc Forster and McGregor recognition. I love that union of artist and a constructive critic that I wish would happen more.

I personally like that they didn't give Otto more "problems" or predudices, and I don't think that makes it shallower. I think that this approach shows what can happen to a good natured and kind man when he gets this wrapped up in grief. He doesn't suddenly turn into a bad person, he just stopped caring about being a nice one. Also if anyone says didn't cry at this movie, they're lying or dead inside. As a side note this movie reminds me of something that could be made in the mid 90's or early 2000's. That sort of small mid-budget film that just hit you in the feels. No flashy CGI, gimmicks, or anything else. Just a solid heartwarming story with a lovely message, great acting, and good screenplay. I miss those sorts of films.

I'm going to take my mom and grandma to watch this!! Anytime my mom is interested in a movie, I'll try and take her whenever I can. Luckily, my AMC theater has an open caption showing so she is able to follow the dialogue much more readily. My grandma may be sleeping through more than half of it, but at least we're together.

Mariana Treviño was incredible and that scene in the car where Otto lists her accomplishments back to her was sooo uplifting and yet so mundane, it was truly eye opening how people have the power to influence with words alone.

Because yes I cried throughout every single frame of this moving masterpiece. I was also really glad that mr.Tom hanks was the one to transform the face of ove to Otto Of course for me his face represent peace happiness and everything. I can't think of a second scene when hanks did enjoy a love making scene even behind close doors Anyway thank you again and God bless your family 🙏🙏🙏

I actually like the flashback scenes. Sure there was a lot and they were a bit long, but it helped reflect the essence of the book it's based on. And helped you bond with people Otto loves that you might not get to know otherwise. The book also has way more flashbacks.

Hi! I'm swedish and have read the book, seen the original swedish movie and this one. "A Man called Otto" is a decent remake, and I actually see nothing wrong with it. It makes the story available to a wider audience. Does it need to exist? I'm not sure. It's like the remake of "Let the right one in", it doesn't add anything new, it's just because many people are having problems watching subtitles I guess. However, I reacted to what you said about this movie not being aimed at a younger audience, that may be so, but here in Sweden EVERYONE saw the original. Old and young, and it was a MASSIVE hit. Even my 12-year old daughter loved in. It's a kind of story I would like to see told more often.

A Man Called Ove was great so I'm hoping this will be as well. I just hate it when films get "Americanized". They usually get dumbed down or too comedic and are usually nowhere as good as the originals eg. Death at a Funeral, the Dragon Tattoo films, The Intouchables, Downhill, Oldboy, and so on.

I would love to see you review the swedish version with Rolf Lassgård as Ove

I have'nt seen this movie yet, but I love all the movies that Tom Hanks has decided on doing. I was a child through out all of the 1970''s & I've watched every thing Tom Hanks has acted in going way back to his Tv series of Bossom Buddies then. I have honestly never saw anything of Tom Hanks that I didn't like so far, he is one of my best favorites in actor's of his generation & I say keep it up Tom Hanks for as long as it's possible for you in doing sooooooooooo.

A feel good movie, not many of those around anymore.

Wish this was a dog called Otto and it was about jerma’s dog going on a magical adventure

@@somerandolad I thought so too but it’s actually about jerma’s dog

Truman Hanks playing young otto also deserves a shout out, doesn't have many acting credits but he did great. Both the original in swedish and the remake left me sobbing but the OG Ove is the best version IMHO

I agree, Tom Hanks was never a great actor but he has worked with great directors.

And anti-male

This shot at 0:24 is on a street called Gilliland avenue in Bellevue PA right outside Pittsburgh. Had a friend who lived there and we used to shoot hockey balls at the garage doors in the background. We dented them up so bad my friends mom had to pay some $1,300 in damages so they could replace the doors. Loved the movie, it’s cool to see places you grew up on big screen.

This movie brought me to tears so many times. Tom Hanks is amazing! A beautiful movie ~ I can view it again and again!

Tom Hanks needs to retire and stay away from the movies. Tom Hanks is a overrated actor.

Definitely gonna check this out! Tom Hanks can do no wrong, for sure! On a side note, didn't know that Chris became a dad---uh, I guess this was fairly recent?? Congrats, my man!

One of the few movies I walked out and thought it was perfect. The story and performances got me choked up and I cried a few times during the film

It's nice to see Chris laugh, been a while since.

I read this book just last year and really enjoyed it! Was so surprised to see they made an English film for it, though Tom Hanks wasn't really how I imagined Ove/Otto XD

"Get out. Go!!" I want to, I want to support films in theaters it's just difficult to drop everything and go when you have a little one and everyone around you is busy. I'm still kicking myself for missing 'Top Gun' in theaters. Thanks for your review, I knew nothing about this film other then the title.

Has anyone else noticed how many times over the past few months Chris has seen "a movie that they just don't make any more"? It isn't mentioned in the review but it isn't just a remake of a Swedish film but it is an adaptation of the original book by Frederick Bachman which is really worth reading. The advantage of the book is that you spend quite a long time inside the characters head, it isn't a particularly plot-heavy book it is all about Ove as a character. The main message of that book (at least in my subjective opinion) is really about how people who seem, externally, to be a simplistic realisation of a basic stereotype (the grumpy old man), actually have a complex history and are themselves complex people with a very unique experience of the world. As well as the value of being part of a community and the power of finding family even if you don't have your own, or have lost your own. I think the former is what the film was trying to achieve with the flashbacks, it just doesn't really work so well in the format of a film where you have a limited time, and you don't have the same ease of intimately entering a characters head and thoughts like a book can. I enjoyed the film, but it was a bit disappointing that a book that is really unusually good at portraying a person in a meaningful way, devolved into a film that was a fairly bog-standard feel-good affair. Unless you have read the book, in which case you already have some of that understanding of his character which I think helped my experience of it. Still worth seeing I think, but not as worth seeing as the book is worth reading.

Went to see this today. A Wed afternoon at 12:30. About 20 people in the theatre. Not bad for the middle of a week day. I’m 50 and I was definitely the youngest person in the theatre. Anyway, I loved it and yes I cried-a lot!

Oh my god i didnt know you're a parent now! CONGRATULATIONS to you guys! x

it's not about otto getting less grumpy, it's about you learning more about him and understanding him more and that his rough exterior is not his heart. This take is not my own, directly from the author of the book these films are adapted from.

Finished the book late last year. Can’t wait to see the movie.

They short a portion of this in my hometown, and I'm so bummed that I missed out on being an extra in this!

I can definitely agree about the older audience appeal. I went at the Thursday 2pm showing and the theater was almost half full (a lot for a small town) of older people

I’m fairly excited to see this one when it releases here in February. I’m generally not a fan of American remakes of European films (although this is technically based on a book), but I’ve heard good things, the trailers look good and I like Tom Hanks, so I’ll definitely give this one a chance.

Love when Chris yells at old people, it's what keeps me coming back everytime ❤️🤠😻

My mum and I are going to see next week. We are both looking forward to seeing Tom Hanks play a grumpier type character because its kind of against type as he is normally in much more likeable roles.
