A β β β β β review of My Octopus Teacher (2020)
Please put this on your watchlist. We owe it to all octopusses. The Guardian: βIf My Octopus Teacher is a love story, as described, it is less Portrait of a Lady on Fire, and more Garden State β which is to say, conspicuously sexless, as is good and right. The clue is in the title: kooky girl breathes new life into a broken man, teaching him how to feel, changing his whole outlook on the world. Sheβs not a sex object, sheβs a saviour: a Manic Pixie Dream Mollusc.β
