Tom Hanks stars in a new 2022 movie called A Man Called Otto, which is available to stream on Netflix - but viewers have been left in tears after watching the film

A Man Called Otto' starring Tom Hanks has now been made available on Netflix, but viewers say it had them 'in tears' despite it being a comedy.

A Man Called Otto was released in early 2023, receiving a fairly mixed bag of critics reviews – but quickly becoming a firm fan-favourite, as you can see from its well-deserved 97% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes. I agree, too, as Hanks' character, Otto, brought a tear to my eye when I first watched.

A newly added film on Netflix has caught fans off guard with its tear-jerking power, given that it has actually been housed in the category of comedy. When fans browse that genre, they will be offered the 2022 movie A Man Called Otto, starring Tom Hanks.
