Unpopular opinion: A Man Called Otto is the most overrated film of the decade
Rewatched A Man Called Otto last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in A Man Called Otto?
Honestly, A Man Called Otto would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.

Hot Take: A Man Called Otto's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece
Director clearly thought A Man Called Otto was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in A Man Called Otto actually is?
Everyone praising the A Man Called Otto performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.
