When a lively young family moves in next door, grumpy widower Otto Anderson meets his match in a quick-witted, pregnant woman named Marisol, leading to an unlikely friendship that turns his world upside down.
I don't often feel compelled to write reviews on new movies as often few and far between are worth talking about. However, I found this film to be particularly moving. The story itself is nothing groundbreaking but the characters and performances bring the film to life. The film is emotionally impactful and has strong messages about grief and moving on. The film is strongly led by Hanks but I found the standout performance was from Mariana Treviño as Marisol. Every scene with her character was genuinely captivating and superb.
I've seen multiple Oscar nominees from this year and last and for me personally, none of them impacted me emotionally as much as this film did. I can't recommend this film highly enough.
