"Remarkably Bright Creatures (Film) Directed by: Olivia Newman Cast: Sally Field, Lewis Pullman, Joan Chen, Kathy Baker, Beth Grant, Sofia Black-D'Elia, Colm Meaney, Alfred Molina Streaming on: Netflix There are plenty of sweet small movies about unexpected multigenerational bonds, but only Remarkably Bright Creatures is narrated by an octopus (voiced by the one and only Alfred Molina). The octopus plays a minor but important role in the story of a cleaning lady at a local aquarium (Sally Field) who ends up bonding with a kind but down on his luck musician (Lewis Pullman), both of them finding they have far more in common than expected."
"This is straight-up feel good entertainment that doesn't pander, with Pullman in particular proving how well he's coming into his own as an actor. The supporting cast is also filled with standouts - in particular, I love to see Colm Meaney do anything (he remains one of my favorite Star Trek cast members ever)."
"The Other Bennet Sister (TV) Directed by: Jennifer Sheridan, Asim Abbasi Cast: Ella Bruccoleri, Ruth Jones, Richard E. Grant, Maddie Close, Poppy Gilbert, Grace Hogg-Robinson, Molly Wright, Indira Varma, Richard Coyle, Dónal Finn, Laurie Davidson, Lucy Briers, Tanya Reynolds, Varada Sethu Streaming on: Britbox If you're at all a Jane Austen fan, then you've seen plenty of remixes and updates and other riffs on Pride & Prejudice - I know I have, at least. However, this Britbox series is the first time I've seen poor"
