Remarkably Bright Creatures Ratings & Reviews
Newsday
Robert Levin
Wonderful acting and a touching story. What more could you need?
Associated Press
Lindsey Bahr
Its impact may even sneak up on you, not even for the mechanics of the big ending which is a bit of an eyeroll, but simply watching Tova and Cameron find their own emotional catharsis. Luckily, in the comfort of your home, the tissues will be nearby.
See It or Skip It
Patrick Beatty
A movie about kindness.
Screen Speck
Josie Meléndez
Olivia Newman's adaptation of 'Remarkably Bright Creatures' reinforces the beauty of a found family.
JoBlo's Movie Network
Alex Maidy
A feel-good movie that will have you experiencing a wave of coziness, Remarkably Bright Creatures is a nice, harmless alternative to all the negativity out there.
Variety India
Jinal Bhatt
The chemistry shared by Sally Field and Lewis Pullman evokes a warm hug on a cold, rainy evening and guarantees catharsis.

Bright Creatures isn't going to set the world ablaze by any means, but it was a very nice little film, all the same.
RogerEbert.com
Matt Zoller Seitz
When the film escapes the confinement tank of its numerous hand-me-down cliches, you're happy to follow the water trail to see where it leads.
But Why Tho?
Jason Flatt
Remarkably Bright Creatures is a touching journey between two unlikely people (and their octopus friend) finding their ways in a world that has been hard on them.
Algo Más Que Cine
Dionar Hidalgo
Warm, gentle, and quietly emotional, Remarkably Bright Creatures doesn't reinvent the formula, but Sally Field, Lewis Pullman, and one grumpy octopus make it surprisingly easy to love.
Lady Geeks Media
Gissane Sophia
Profound, wholesome, and big-hearted, Remarkably Bright Creatures sticks the landing with a quiet story that's going to stay with people.
VisAbleBlackwoman (Medium)
Jeanine T. Abraham
, Field hits so many levels, textures, and tones of this complex person. Her performance is a master class. Every single moment is believable and real. As Cameron, Lewis Pullman takes on yet another role that showcases his range. His acting is gorgeous.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
This is a lovely role for Field.
TIME Magazine
Stephanie Zacharek
Remarkably Bright Creatures is a movie, like its cephalopod supporting star, with a gentle soul and an elusive spirit. It might not stick with you long, but it leaves a delicate print behind.
The Hollywood Reporter
Angie Han
It's as cozy as an old woolen blanket, as sweet as a mug of hot chocolate and, ultimately, as moving as the sight of a sky turning purple over an endless horizon.
IndieWire
Kate Erbland
There's something increasingly rare (yes, even more rare than Alfred Molina voicing a huge sea creature): a book-to-film adaptation that actually adapts the material, and does not just crib blindly from the original.
AV Club
Tara Bennett
While Remarkably Bright Creatures may repel those with little patience for stories of fate, those who enjoyed the book-or those who enjoy character pieces as catharsis-will find this a worthwhile adaptation.
The Travers Take
Peter Travers
Sally Field mothers a talking octopus in a shameless tearjerker that doesn't shy away from eye-rolling cliches but may just be the empathy booster we all need right now.
New York Times
Ben Kenigsberg
While being cynical about a wise-octopus movie is probably unfair, being bored by it isn't great, either.
The Daily Beast
Nick Schager
Eliciting exasperated laughs at its every manipulation, it may be the most ridiculously corny movie of all time.
