If you also loved the gentle, emotional, hopeful feeling of Remarkably Bright Creatures, the kind of story that feels warm, quietly magical, deeply human, and full of connection then these films carry that same beautiful ache and comfort!

And if you haven’t already, the TV series Somebody Somewhere has this exact same gentle, human, comforting feeling too. It’s one of those stories where not much “happens,” but emotionally it stays with you for weeks.
We love stories that feel warm, nostalgic, hopeful, and deeply human. The kind that make ordinary life feel meaningful. We hope you get to enjoy some time out on the couch in the company of these good movies!
