    Certified Scorsese hands-up meme. Cute film. Touching on that certain boomer. Yes, the one who is grumpy and not with the times. Though if you give them a chance and ask some good questions the treasure trove of human knowledge opens! Also, I hope I can be Otto in that I live a life of making my community the best it can be.

    Great film for the family and one that if you had a person in your life like Otto it was made for you!

    ★★★½

    Odd movie. As a person who loves this era time in US and science history I had to go into this movie like it was a joke/comedy. The real life is extremely extended to the point that I did have to explain that yes NASA did NOT have a replica soundstage as backup. The actors in this are A listers and were good. But this did not wow me as it’s a long movie that felt like it was going…

    Wonderful film! I went to an old local theater with my sister who with the two of us brought down the crowds age by at least 40 years. Many of the jokes about Thelma and her life were received well by the older audience while my sister and I were confused! A great story and great themes with a wonderful cast who made it seem so real that I in watching the movie thought about my life and the people who I care about aging. Please go see!
