Ashforth September 26, 2020 Author Share September 26, 2020 This is a fascinating documentary, beautiful and touching. NOT FOR CHILDREN! There are scenes that would be much too disturbing for kids. You will never eat octopus again. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/111905-my-octopus-teacher-2020/#findComment-6370207

Razzberry March 14, 2021 Share March 14, 2021 An incredible film, beautifully shot and edited. I was rooting for the octopus and when the shark was hunting her in the kelp forest it was better than any thriller because it was real! I had no idea they were so intelligent. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/111905-my-octopus-teacher-2020/#findComment-6660590

Slade347 April 23, 2021 Share April 23, 2021 All the stuff with the octopus and the way that was filmed was pretty amazing and great to watch. The diver and his story really didn't do much for me, though. Too much time spent on him. Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/111905-my-octopus-teacher-2020/#findComment-6737881

paramitch March 30, 2022 Share March 30, 2022 I loved this movie, and thought it was profound and beautifully written and shot. I love octopuses -- they're brilliant and sensitive creatures, and the closest things on earth to actual aliens. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/111905-my-octopus-teacher-2020/#findComment-7372188
