The Penguin Lessons (12A) (2025) 111 min

Steve Coogan plays, a British teacher, who takes a job in Argentina in 1976 during a brutal period in the country’s history and finds his life transformed both personally and politically. when he rescues an orphaned penguin from the beach. Adapted from Cornish teacher Tom Michell’s memoir the comedy-drama was written by Jeff Pope, Coogan’s frequent collaborator and directed by Peter (The Full Monty) Cattaneo and co-stars Jonathan Pryce.

Coogan displays precision comic timing... his scenes with the wonderful Bjorn Gustaffson, as an ingenuous colleague baffled by irony and sarcasm, are a delight

Guardian

Thoroughly engaging, amusing and endearing
