I mean I'll struggle with my review cuz most of what I've felt is hard for me to express with text

This documentary was so pure, so loving so emotional and very inspiring

I got super attached to the octopus that I felt this sense of being protective over her.. Also every time Craig (the diver) exists water I find myself saying go back go back and check on her


This documentary is highly recommended, it's so peaceful and stressful at the same time

A powerful and connecting documentary, My Octopus Teacher shows that with perseverance curiosity can make an impossible relationship into a aeon of a lifetime.

How the connection with one animal can spread to an awareness of the whole ecosystem as well as a realisation of how one can transpose a deeper understanding of one's own life and change the daily interactions between family, friends and all humans.

Shot in the 4K colourspace within the glorious arena of the African Cape are wonderful aerial scenes, combined with underwater studies of a marine biome and the life of a sole cephalopod, My Octopus Teacher is narrated so well that it drives home the need for terrans to contemplate how best we as a species should interact and care for our pale blue dot.

A beautifully shot, very sweet story about a man and an octopus. There are many "aww" moments as well as some nail-biting moments. It's quite amazing to watch this friendship unfold.

Thank you, @dewdropvelvet for having this in your favorites.
Bitter-sweet after finding out the life-cycle, but...

I have two playlists on YouTube:


> "Animals Heartwarming," and,
> "Humans heartwarming,"


Often the best I'm trying to decide which they should go in -- this would be one of those cases:

> The man so in need of help finding it by making a little friend, until he gets to the point where he can begin to give back and start anew, or,
> the small furry friend (in the strangest of places), _at play_ -- and the inextricable web of connections to all the other life around it?

I can understand other commenters' critique, but, personally, I did not get any, "Grizzly Man," vibes, _and head & shoulders above scientific corollaries/videos._

This guy went and bothered an octopus for a while. That's pretty much it.

Not the classic cliche of the scientist who fells in love with the object of its research. Yes, there is a clear wishful anthropomorphization of the animal disguised as documentary study, but at the same time it is clear that the main point is not a study about some octopus behavior, but the journey of this man to discover a new sensibility towards the environment and every living being. Actually, he's the subject of the entire study, not the octopus. All this talk about himself, "how this and that changed me forever, because I'm so important"..yes, this can be tedious. Me personally I believe it cames from a place of love..naive at worst.

[Netflix] A foray into wild aquatic life through the surprising relationship between an octopus and a man. The story is built from the interpretation that the protagonist makes of his interaction with the octopus (I mean, "you invade my natural habitat and then you don't want to save me from death, motherfucker?"). What it loses in the narrative wins in what emotional. And in this way the octopus becomes the heroine and true star of the film.

This documentary is filled with amazing sceneries, the underwater shots are absolutely breathtaking and it's just beautifully done. But what makes it remarkable is how it makes you connect with a creature you'd never thought of connecting before. The story is almost heartbreaking, it's just nature's flow, but the way it involves you and shows you that inevitable ending made me cry for the full day.

How did this vlog crap about some weirdo stalking a poor octopus win the Oscar?! Did Netflix bought it?

Like swimming in cold water, if you get into it, it's simulating and refreshing.

Find yourself someone who looks at you the way this guy looks at his octopus. Seriously, I legit wonder how jealous his wife is of the mollusc.

Very touching...an excellent watch. However I found myself very frustrated at Foster's lack of action after fostering a relationship with this octopus.
