Home Film Reviews May 7, 2026 4:00pm PT ‘Remarkably Bright Creatures’ Review: Sally Field and Lewis Pullman Help Each Other Heal in a Melodrama of Distinctly Average Intelligence Omniscient narration from a wise octopus voiced by Alfred Molina makes about as much sense as anything else in this cluttered, sentimental tale of small-town intrigue and human connection. By Guy Lodge Plus Icon Guy Lodge Film Critic @guylodge Latest Miranda Priestly Ignited Meryl Streep’s Populist Era, ‘Devil Wears Prada 2’ Shows She’s Still a Crowd-Pleaser 3 days ago ‘The Travel Companion’ Review: A Bromance Goes Adrift in a Gently Wry Indie Amble 5 days ago ‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’ Review: Hotly Anticipated Sequel Is Breezily Diverting Fan Service and, Well, That’s All 1 week ago See All ©Netflix/Courtesy Everett Collection Are people still firing up “My Octopus Teacher” on Netflix? The viral success of that documentary felt like a peak-pandemic phenomenon, when some of us were sufficiently starved for connection with both the natural world and our fellow humans that its thin anthropomorphic musings rang true. If it has a place in anyone’s heart today, however, then so will “Remarkably Bright Creatures,” a fictional bouillabaise of moist-eyed melodrama, marine-life metaphor and all-purpose cod philosophy that, were it not title-bound to the bestseller it’s based on, could have opportunistically been called “My Octopus Therapist” for its Netflix debut.
