Review of Cat Person

Cat Person (I) (2023)
6/10
Better than expected
14 December 2023
When the movie opened with the quote "Men are scared women will laugh at them. Women are scared men will kill them", I thought "Uh oh, here we go. Another 'All men are nasty' movie". But it ended up being more nuanced than that, a bit messier and less black and white, just like real life. Both protagonists were a little bit wrong and a little bit right, so I thank the writer for bringing a more balanced and less predictable perspective to how relationships can unfold.

The film had its share of dramatic moments but also had lighter moments interspersed, with imagined scenarios, which provided a little light and shade.

Overall, a thought provoking movie with more than one perspective.
