Before I watched this, I was a fisherman who kept keeping fish for food. I was the kid who sat at home all day, even though I live right on the Connecticut coast, one of the most beautiful spots in America, yet I didn’t take advantage of it. After seeing this, my life has been forever changed. I sold all of my fishing gear, immediately signed up for any available scuba registration time available, and since then I have been exploring the wild every day since then. It stinks that even though we are the most intelligent creatures on earth, we don’t do anything to make sure we get better. Our world is dying and we don’t do anything about it. These creatures lay down their lives so others can live. I have seen over 1000 films in my whole life. This is by far my #1. I hope every single person sees this film so they can realize how precious life is.

I watched this documentary last night and haven't stopped thinking about it since. It's truly an extraordinary film. The story telling and footage are phenomenal. As an Italian, Octopus is a common food. I will never be able to eat Octopus again.

[Sejuani]

I never imagined in my entire life that I would cry for an octopus! 😭

[tidalboxer]

It won an Oscar! I’m so happy. I watched this on a whim and cried hard. Sob cried. Wow. Such a touching documentary.

[SuhasSreehariOnline]

This is the most beautiful and soul-stirring thing I’ve watched on a screen. That moment… when the octopus stopped playing with the fish and dashed to give Craig a hug. She knew it would be mating season soon and what that meant. Absolutely beautiful, sad, heart-warming, all at once.

This is what the world needs. This is a man telling us a story that he actually lived through, which is magnificent. He shows us nature like we have never seen before. This is a story of two living beings that crossed their paths and made amazing memories. This is the definition of beautiful.
You are one lucky man.

[czrcn]

This is the kind of movies that the world should be watching to make us kinder and gentler.

[RobsWorld]

One of the best nature documentaries I have ever seen. Absolutely beautiful and wonderfully narrated and educational--tremendous with its scientific breakthroughs on these amazing creature's behavior and intelligence. Loved when Craig first made contact and she gently reached out and touched his face. I'm not ashamed to say that I teared up a few times just being in awe of how incredible and special the interaction he had with her. I do believe that you now have 500, 000 new potential friends waiting there for you in the misty kelp forest and that was one of her children you met. I've been very interested in octopuses and also like the Octolab TV channel, which I also highly recommend. Keep doing what you do Craig, the world needs people like yourself!

[NishantHagjer]

This is one of the best things I've ever seen in my life. 90 mins of pure knowledge, education, love, care and emotions. Thank you Craig for making this wonderful documentary. "What she taught me was to feel that you're a part of this place, not a visitor". One of the strongest lines I felt through my whole body. Beautiful cinematography, beautiful narration and beautiful octopus. Thank you.

[KdubtheAxe]

I usually never cry but I cried 3 times over the course of this beautiful documentary. It's been 20 minutes after I finished watching and I'm typing with teary eyes. Thank you Craig Foster and thank you Octopus.

Our Octopus, she have won an Oscar!!!

Well she deserves more and heaven.

[lnconnuconnu]

I knew that the Octopus was smart but damn, that guy put it to another level. Beautiful nature, just forgive us

[colleencreamer]

I had to lie down after watching this movie. It took it out of me. Gorgeous, transcendent ... and terrifying at what we are losing every minute of the day.

[eanderson]

Just finished watching this film. This is one of the best nature documentaries I have ever watched, and certainly the best in recent years. What a beautiful friendship.

[lcsgtvk]

I cannot believe how many people have been touched in their very core, cried like they haven't cried in a long time. Getting reconnected to nature, opening the heart to the beauty and the love out there seems the path towards healing. This movie is worth hundred oscars.

[ILLVMBlog]

Such a beautiful story. I cried when she made her final journey. Fantastic photography and just a wonderful film.

[jeetdhindsa]

This film has had such an enchanting affect on me that I'm still spellbound, and left pondering, questioning and reflecting my own life, relationships and connection with nature. It's on my list of favorite films of all time.

[SlaveTheRhythm]

That part almost in her final days when she is playing with the fish and then goes to hug him was mesmerizing, animals can feel joy and love ❤

[John]

He dived in the freezing Atlantic off Cape Town's west side, without a wetsuit. So as to be "at one" with the ocean. Respect!!

Me and my friend got drunk and decided to watch this and we both cried like little babies
