Kevin Kelly dazu in seinem Newsletter:
»This is one of the best documentaries I have ever seen. Yet nothing about its subject would suggest greatness. My Octopus Teacher is about a tired middle-age man who befriends a small octopus in a South African kelp reef. He visits the octopus every day for a year (while filming it), and what he learns from the octopus is oceanic. This tiny creature is otherworldly, a superhero alien from another galaxy, and her life connected to the particular reef expands until it fills the universe. Everything is divinely photographed. Must see.«
»Ein Filmemacher schließt in einem südafrikanischen Algenwald eine überraschende Freundschaft mit einem Oktopus, der ihn in seine geheimnisvolle Welt eintauchen lässt.«
