Tom Hanks fans, your favorite actor is back on the big screen. A Man Called Otto is the Academy Award winner’s latest film project, based on Fredrik Backman‘s 2012 novel A Man Called Ove. The movie already has generated buzz amongst critics and fans, and it’s not just because the Elvis star’s youngest son Truman portrays a younger version of his titular character.
The film follows Otto, an older man who has become a curmudgeon upon the loss of his wife from cancer. While other folks may be trying to live life in his Pittsburgh town, he’s chosen to give up on finding happiness and seeing the good in people. But when a new family moves into the house next door, they immediately want to bring Otto into their fold. This leads him to soften up a bit and realize there is life after a great love — but it might not be the way he expected it.

Where to watch and stream A Man Called Otto:
Presently, A Man Called Otto isn’t available to stream online. But like most movies that hit the box office as of late, it won’t be too long until you’ll be able to watch it from anywhere.
A Man Called Otto is currently being distributed by Sony Pictures, which also released other hit films from 2022, like Where the Crawdads Sing and Bullet Train. When both movies moved from the movie theater to a streaming site, they both landed on Netflix. Given the pattern Sony Pictures laid out last year, it’s likely A Man Called Otto will end up there as well.
As far as when A Man Called Otto will live on Netflix, there’s no clear answer yet. When looking at Where the Crawdads Sing and Bullet Train, both appeared on the streamer about three months after they first debuted in movie theaters. If the streaming date for A Man Called Otto is similar, fans may see it pop up on their Netflix queues starting mid-April 2023. It will also likely end up on Amazon Prime Video at the same time, but you will need to buy or rent it once it’s available.
When A Man Called Otto is released on Netflix, you’re going to want to have an account ready. If you don’t have access yet, you can sign up for a 30-day free trial before opting into plans which start at $6.99 per month. Afterward, you can just head over to the movie title on the official Netflix site or the Netflix app.
