Dickon Hinchliffe - Remarkably Bright Creatures (Soundtrack from the Netflix Film) (2026) [Hi-Res]

Remarkably Bright Creatures is an American mystery drama written and directed by Olivia Newman, adapted from Shelby Van Pelt's 2022 bestselling novel of the same name, starring Sally Field, Lewis Pullman, and Alfred Molina as the voice of Marcellus the octopus. The story follows a widow working night shifts at a small-town aquarium who forms unlikely bonds with both a brilliant cephalopod and a young man adrift in search of his roots.
The original score is composed by Dickon Hinchliffe — the British composer and founding member of Tindersticks known for his work on Winter's Bone, The Lost Daughter, Leave No Trace, Out of the Furnace, and Locke. A classically trained violinist and multi-instrumentalist, Hinchliffe has developed a compositional voice defined by introspection, subtle tension, and emotional depth — qualities ideally suited to the film's dual register of quiet grief and whimsical wonder. Across eighteen tracks, the score moves from aquatic, near-meditative sketches ("Ocean," "Eight Arms," "Circular Motions") to more emotionally laden passages ("A Hole In Her Heart," "Deepest Wound") and finally to the cathartic sweep of the title theme. The music mirrors Marcellus's uncanny intelligence: it is simultaneously cerebral and warmly human. Netflix premiered the film — and its soundtrack — on May 8, 2026, submitting the production for Emmy consideration in the Best Movie category.
