A Man Called Otto
I was a big fan of the original Swedish film and genuinely wasn't expecting much from this, but my mom came to town and wanted to see it.
I was pleasantly surprised that the adaptation really held to the spirit of the original story but had some nice updates.
We went to a matinee at a theater near our house because I didn't want to schlep mom to the Alamo, but it was truly the worst theatrical experience I've had in years. A theater full of senior citizens who literally talked through the entire film.
OH, HE'S GOING TO KILL HIMSELF!
OH, THAT'S <PERSON> REAL-LIFE SON!
OH, THAT CAT IS SO CUTE!
Despite these old bitties, I got wrapped up in the movie and pretty much cried through the entire third act even though I knew what was happening.
<PERSON> is not really known for subtlety and I know most people will hate this, but I cannot lie - watching with my mother and a bunch of chatty Cathy's I was won over entirely. 369
