Grief stricken widower Otto goes through life moaning and fighting against all of life's little irritations, how world is turned on its head when new neighbours move in opposite, neighbours that try to incorporate him in their lives.
Initially, I wasn't too sure, I thought the film was going to be a ninety or so minute moan fest, with central character, Otto moaning and griping over everything, but if course there's some real depth, and Hanks delivers a stunning performance. It's a pretty awesome movie, you will laugh, you'll cry, you'll learn exactly what makes Otto tick.
Of course you spend most of the movie asking just one question, what happened to her, what was the big moment, when it comes it's a hammer blow, the voice of Kate Bush gave me chills.
Mariana Treviño is an absolute joy as Marisol, as depressed, low and down beaten as Otto is, she is the perfect opposite, she'a carefree, optimistic and joyous, what a lovely character.
It's brilliant.
10/10.
