negative · AI labelView post →Remarkably Bright Creatures | Trailer. I'm absolutely glad that I watched this film. It's so lovely to see Sally Fields. And Chief Miles O'Brien to boot! (Erm, I mean Colm Meaney.) The story was exactly what my heart needed, especially in these days where everything seems to be soul crushing. Sure, there was some mild suspension of disbelief, but it was worth it, however improbable.
