Has anyone watched "Remarkably Bright Creatures" on Netflix yet?

I just finished watching a movie on Netflix called Remarkably Bright Creatures (it’s adapted from that massive bestselling book), and I wanted to share it with you all. I'm no film critic, but I absolutely loved it and thought it would make a perfect recommendation for the community. The story follows an elderly woman named Tova (played by the amazing Sally Field). She takes a night job cleaning a local aquarium, mostly to stay busy while dealing with some deep, long-held family grief. While working there, she forms a completely unexpected and unique friendship with an octopus named Marcellus. I know a friendship with an octopus sounds a little unusual, but he actually narrates his thoughts to the audience, and he is hilariously grumpy, sarcastic, and incredibly smart. The movie alternates between Tova's life, the octopus’s funny late-night adventures, and a young guy who just arrived in town looking for a fresh start. It’s just a beautifully gentle, wholesome story about loneliness, healing, and how comfort can come from the most surprising places. It has a bit of mystery to it, plenty of heart, and it just leaves you feeling warm inside. I won't give any of the plot away, but I'd love to chat about it: Has anyone else watched this yet, or maybe you've read the book? What is your favorite "feel-good" or comforting movie to watch when you want to unwind? Do you think animals have a way of sensing when humans need a little extra comfort? Can't wait to see what you all think in the comments. Have a wonderful day ahead!
