Tricia O @SerenitySeeker92 11 hrs ago I guess I can blame myself for not reading the fine print that this is a drama, and they "decided" to adopt a cat. I call these kinds of movies, "artsy fartsy." I have no problem with artsy fartsy. I enjoy attempting to look at causality of the characters' actions, to attempt to grasp what the creators, including writers and directors, were trying to convey. ***SPOILER ALERT!** Being an animal lover, I 7th hated the ending. I smiled when we got to see and hear the narration of the kitty with the cute little voice, and see their paws tell a story. Actually, that was the best part of the film! In my opinion, the characters displayed from the very beginning that they had little purpose or happiness in their lives, so the ending wasn't really a surprise. But I guess part of the story was the metaphor that the cat was waiting for his life to begin, just as the couple was, and when the cat didn't get to be adopted and that was his end, it was the end of their relationship as well.

See more isla s @RT89656869 Sep 4, 2022 This is yet another quirky/weird indie film that I felt I didn't really 'get' at all. I wasn't especially bothered about (or interested in) the characters and I didn't feel compelled to keep watching, although there is something mildly intriguing about it at times. It features sort of space-y type music which leads me to believe that the film was made with hopes of being regarded as some sort of art-y symbolic film but it doesn't work for me. Plus, what is it with the distorted, almost sort of trippy-ish, the voice of a talking cat - what's that all about?!. Suffice to say, I can't say I felt entertained by it and I wouldn't recommend it, no.

Johnny C had to bail. I gotta go. See more Mar 11, 2020 funny for a certain type of person, that person is not me. See more Nov 30, 2019 I hated this movie. If you hated Weiner Dog, you will probably hate this movie even more like my husband and I did. I thought it was going to be a sweet, quirky movie about a cat who wonderfully changes a couple's lives. No, it is like the feel bad movie of the century. Plus, there are so many moments where nothing is happening; people are shuffling around. See more Read all reviews
