Cat Person is sadly not as good as I thought it was going to be.
Based on the 2017 short story of the same name by Kristen Roupenian, starring Emilia Jones, Nicholas Braun (Succession), Geraldine Viswanathan, Hope Davis, Fred Melamed, and Isabella Rossellini.
This film gives you the dating icks. A LOT!
Cat Person is based on a 20-year-old sophomore college student Margot has a brief relationship with Robert, an older man who frequently visits the movie theater where she works.
It escalates, it deescalates then nothing the credits roll. I felt the film was bloated at the beginning and middle then the ending was just a rush job.
I really wanted to like this and I did try, however it's just not great. Maybe this belongs as a "straight to streaming" release? In a world of streamers and their OG movies, this just didn't feel like cinema quality.
Nicholas Braun AKA Greg from Succession, did well as a total creeper. However this is not Succession heights of highs. I will pass it though, as if any younger person takes something out of this film, there are some life lessons. Street smarts even.
So there it is 2.5 Stars on the eve of Summer. Yep officially it's Summer tomorrow, despite me selling it for months as part of my streaming blog series. Speaking of another Australia series will get the spotlight next time around.
