If you are looking for a feel good movie – this is it. Now streaming on Netflix. Sally Field plays Tova Sullivan, an elderly cleaning lady who works nights cleaning an aquarium in Sowell Bay, Washington where she shares a friendship with Marcellus – the octopus. She convides her heartbreak and loss, trying to figure out how to move on, a bit of gossip and a few laughs. She meets Cameron, a young drifter who ends up in town, mysteriously looking for someone who owes him a lot of money. They end up helping each other to heal from their own hurts, with the help of Marcellus.

It’s a beautiful movie from start to finish. Heartwarming. Moving. And yes, there’s a good chance you’ll cry.

Worth the watch.

9/10
