Film Club : The Penguin Lessons (12)
The Penguin Lessons (12) is a poignant comedy-drama inspired by a true story, following a disillusioned English teacher in 1976 Argentina whose life is transformed after rescuing an oil-slicked penguin. As political upheaval brews, the bird’s loyalty sparks unexpected personal and communal change. Praised for Steve Coogan’s heartfelt performance and its warmth, the film is touching, humorous, and quietly uplifting, though some critics note tonal mismatches with its historical backdrop.
The Penguin Lessons is a 2024 comedy-drama starring Steve Coogan and Jonathan Pryce, which premiered at TIFF and has received generally positive reviews across IMDb, Rotten Tomatoes, and Letterboxd.
