Based on a novel by Shelby van Pelt, we open on a captive octopus telling us about the great days it was free - immediately gaining our sympathy. Its only friend is a reclusive widow, the cleaner, Sally Field. Her life changes when a young man turns up in town searching for his father, Lewis Pullman.
Her friends are Joan Chen, Kathy Baker and Beth Grant. Colm Meaney is the shop owner, Sofia Black-D'Elia the surf girl. The octopus was voiced by Alfred Molina.
An unusual film; good. Actually filmed in Canada, British Columbia.
