In new drama Remarkably Bright Creatures, the setting is the night shift at an aquarium. And Sally Field is Tova, an elderly widow who chances upon a life-changing discovery that may bring her joy and wonder once again.
Directed and co-written by Olivia Newman, additional key cast includes Lewis Pullman, Beth Grant and Dan Payne.
‘Occasionally is right.‘
That’s my response to the Octopus’s observation towards the end.
I haven’t read the book of the same name by Shelby Van Pelt, on which this story is based, but I do want to know what else the octopus has to say about us, and to see Field being as good as always.
Are you drawn to this one, too?
Colm Meaney, Laura Harris, Sofia Black-D’Elia, Kathy Baker, Joan Chen, Meghan Heffern, Donald Sales, Carolyn Adair and Ezra Wilson also star.
Remarkably Bright Creatures Release Dates: May 8th, 2026 (US & UK)…
Happy Film Loving,
