“A Man Called Otto”:
Tom Hanks enters his grumpy old man era in this dark but hopeful comedy from director Marc Forster about a curmudgeon finding community.

Katie Walsh in her review. “It is also a story about the transformative nature of grief, and the beauty and cruelty of life lived in moments both mundane and monumental.”
