This is a weird one. I don’t want to assume everyone on the planet has read the short story on which this film is based but … let’s just say the short story was a PHENOMENON. In December 2017, you could not escape “discourse” about it. Which is why some of the “inventions” in the film adaptation are so baffling. But it was certainly fun to write about the film! And the sex scene is a KEEPER. (And when do you get to say THAT nowadays?)
I reviewed Cat Person for Ebert.
