Remarkably Bright Creatures

Anyone who has read Shelby Van Pelt’s debut novel knows how this story ends. But for those who haven’t, you might just jump out of your seat like I did when you make a major discovery as this endearing and poignant film (streaming on Netflix) unfolds. Sally Field is, well, remarkable as Tova, a lonely widow who works as a cleaner at a local aquarium and befriends an aging octopus. And Lewis Pullman plays Cameron, who meets Tova when he journeys to her Washington town in search of the father he never met. The two are this year’s best, most unlikely duo. —Gerrad Hall, Editorial Director

When a flock of sheep’s beloved shepherd (Hugh Jackman) is murdered, they band (baah‘nd?) together to crack the case — which is good, since Nicholas Braun‘s police officer isn’t the sharpest pair of shears in the shed. Nicholas Galitzine, Emma Thompson, Bryan Cranston, and Brett Goldstein round out the heartfelt comedy (in theaters). —Mike Miller, Executive Editor
The Other Bennet Sister

Hold on to your bonnets. This Britbox limited series is a gift for fans of Jane Austen and her sly observations on Regency-era class skirmishes. The story views the events of Pride and Prejudice (and beyond) through the eyes of the underestimated Bennet sister, Mary. —Debbie Day, Staff Editor

Ben Lerner’s latest novel is also his shortest, but its slender form conceals immense spiritual power. Lerner is one of America’s most soulful and inventive writers, and this beguiling nesting doll of a story about memory and technology is already a frontrunner for the year’s best. —Ryan Coleman, News Writer
