‘Remarkably Bright Creatures’ Review: Sally Field and Lewis Pullman Help Each Other Heal in a Melodrama of Distinctly Average Intelligence
- What’s Inside: A look at the new movie ‘Remarkably Bright Creatures’.
- Sally Field and Lewis Pullman star.
- Does it live up to the hype?
We just saw the trailer for ‘Remarkably Bright Creatures’. It stars the always amazing Sally Field and Lewis Pullman. They’re playing characters who are both a bit lost, looking for a way to feel better.
The movie seems to have a gentle vibe. Think soft colors, maybe a bit muted. It’s about connection, the kind we were all craving during lockdowns. Remember ‘My Octopus Teacher’? This feels like it’s going for that same sweet spot of human and nature finding each other.
But here’s the thing. The reviews are saying it’s… average. Like, it tries, and Sally Field and Lewis Pullman are good, but the story itself isn’t exactly groundbreaking. It’s a melodrama. That means big emotions. But the intelligence? Apparently, it’s just okay.
Our Take
We love Sally Field. We really do. And Lewis Pullman has been great in other things. So, the idea of them helping each other heal sounds lovely. But if the movie’s smarts are just ‘distinctly average’, we might wait for this one to hit streaming. We’re always looking for that special spark, and it sounds like this movie might just be a flicker.
