This is not a nature documentary. It's the personal project of a man who, following a midlife crisis, decides he can't work anymore and chooses to spend his time free diving instead. After a while, he realizes that it might be possible to monetize his activities by filming the local fauna and does just that. Because he's not a biologist, he adds some sappy, manipulative storytelling rather than informative narration to better sell the footage.
To be honest, whether it is an act or not, I find the overly sensitive, self-centered and undependable nature of this man to be quite off putting, and his privileged life doesn't make for compelling storytelling. Octopuses, on the other hand, are naturally interesting creatures and there's plenty of close up footage of them going about their business, so in that sense it sort of balances out.

Just see it. One of the most extraordinary and touching documentaries you will see. This documentary literally saved me from the depths of depression and despair living under one of the most draconian lockdowns in the world in Victoria, Australia.
It demonstrates how precious life is, in every shape and form. I dare anyone to indulge in calamari after viewing this heart wrenching relationship between this beautiful female octopus and this equally beautiful and compassionate, south African man.
The cinematography is visually stunning, and his remarkable ability to capture the soul of this mesmerising octopus is truly amazing.
If eyes are the window to the soul, then this octopus with her huge, expressive eyes will convince you.
Her fight for survival, every single day of her short life, will give you strength, her relationship with the man will renew your faith in humanity, especially in this dark time.
He entered her world, with such love and respect, unlike most humans who go to steal from, and destroy the oceans.
The kelp forests took me away to a world l wanted to retreat to, a mystical world so different to the life we live on dry land.
When she gives her life to reproduce, l challenge you not to shed a tear.
Life changing for me, thankyou, beautiful south African man, l really needed this documentary right now.

One of the most beautiful and meaningful films I have watched in a very long time. Such an important and timely message.
