Are We Not Cats (2016)

Review by Howling_at_the_Moon_Reviews

Are We Not Cats

5/10

Divisive and polarizing

This is a slow burn, but I was never bored by any means. It's skimpy dialogue and nuanced performances set this piece up for a very atmospheric, original and almost experimental vibe. It felt very "indi" in a positive way... giving it a relatable quality to something maybe not so relatable... making you feel like you are on the ground, in the space of the movie.

I understood what was going on, and yet could barley even tell you what happened. I stop, and I almost think... what was the point of that? And yet, I was entertained and enjoyed it. A story of two lost souls, when their paths cross, and an odd quirk thrown in the mix.

I thought the lead guy did a great job. With what little script he had to work with I thought he relayed every emotion naturally and with tact. I'd love to see him in something else. Also the characters propensity to invite him self places and overstay his welcome was an interesting and cringy character quirk that stuck out to me. The girl was good as well. Some of the side characters were a little spotty as far as delivery went and were distracting at times.

As an indi actor, these are the kind of productions I enjoy being a part of. It doesn't have to cater to every demographic. I would recommend this movie, but only to my weird (cool) artsy friends. Well done guys.
