Tom's Guide Verdict: 'Remarkably Bright Creatures'

Rating: 3.5/5 stars

Verdict: Netflix's "Remarkably Bright Creatures" is a warm, feel-good feature that's made for leisurely weekend viewing. It's a simple, charming tale buoyed by strong performances from its leads, and one that I'm happy to recommend.

Release schedule: Available now

Where to watch: Netflix

If, a couple of years back, you found yourself enchanted by Netflix 's feature-length doc "My Octopus Teacher," you're going to want to settle down in front of the streaming service 's newest movie this weekend.

It's a film that whisks viewers away to a smallish town for around two hours of easygoing drama accompanied by droll witticisms doled out by Marcellus the octopus, and while I don't think it's necessarily going to blow anyone away, "Remarkably Bright Creatures" is an endearing watch that I'd be happy to recommend — you can find out why below.
