Gorgeous and almost shockingly moving.
You’ll laugh and cry your eyes out as an emotionally bruised diver learns about life and loyalty from an eight-tentacled mollusk. This Oscar favorite and viral sensation is the year’s most unorthodox and unforgettable love story.

My Octopus Teacher is not the first documentary to plunge us into the otherworldly flora and fauna of Earth's oceans . . . But it is the first to chronicle a single sea creature's story from such a personal, openhearted perspective, revealing not just emotional connections but animal behaviors previously unknown to scientists.
You’re guaranteed to come away with new respect for the octopus as a species and astonishment at the intimate connection Foster experiences.
My Octopus Teacher never loses our goodwill: If we wind up wishing it had a little less man and a little more beast, that only serves its cause.
Отличный фильм. Из всех фильмов Оскара 2021 произвел наибольшее впечатление.

A movie of such tender, fascinating beauty. It is the first time I have cried watching a film in many, many years. We live on a planet of some incredible miracles. But few things are as precious as the bond between two creatures of two totally different worlds. We need to protect this planet and its creatures. We need to cherish them, respect them, and love them. This is the purpose of life.

I mean, the underwater footage is impressive, but I didn't know if the movie was just an excuse for that guy to produce a film about him. I didn't even remember what the cause for him to start diving was. And, you have to admit that the relationship he develops with the octopus is kind of creepy. 'Gunda' did a better job at giving us an authentic glimpse of the animal kingdom with no humans around (or at least on screen).
