One surprising movie got more complaints in Ireland than any other in 2023
In the first nine months of 2023, IFCO - the Irish Film Classification Office - has received a total of 24 complaints from the public about movies shown in cinemas this year. That is more than the last three years combined, when IFCO received 10 in 2022, and a total of eight across 2021 and 2020 .
However, the movie that IFCO received the most complaints over more than any other, was the Tom Hanks comedy-drama A Man Called Otto. Released in Irish cinemas in January this year, IFCO certified the movie 12a, with the accompanying description:"Mature themes including death, bereavement and suicidal ideation. Depicts scenes of attempted suicide. Use of moderate bad language."
Among the seven complaints against the movie was a letter from Mental Health Ireland, with the charity's CEO stating:"We do not wish to return to a time where self-harm, suicide and mental health issues were taboo and not discussed, but we must all be mindful of the consequences of depicting self-harm in such a graphic manner.
10 years ago, Jake Gyllenhaal and Hugh Jackman delivered career-defining performances in the same movie
