Brilliant

'Dead Cat'is a a beautifully crafted film completely void of pretensions and pretentiousness.Its honesty renders the story a charming,funny, entertaining and often deeply moving exploration of different types of human relationships, focusing in particular on a resurgent romance between Michael and Kristen.Making full use of London's cinematic locations, the viewer is taken on an expertly paced emotional journey,and although it is sometimes predictable, the film retains an authentic, fresh feel throughout. Intimate character moments are interspersed with grand set- pieces with startling skill,and the viewer can be laughing and crying within the same minute. Scenes featuring Michael's eclectic friends are especially amusing, and the dynamic between him and his bereaved father is incredibly powerful.A fantastic film.

Fantastic!

Heartwarming and brilliantly funny in its subtle and unique-to-Britain ways, this is definitely a film that everyone should watch. With characters who ring true with so many of ones friends, you feel as if you're laughing with people instead of at them, and the problems that they face are ones we have all at least seen glimpses of. This brings the viewer very close to the protagonist. Directed superbly by Stefan Georgiou, it is fascinating and difficult to believe that it was made for so little money. It is well deserving of the prestigious British Lion Award, one of many more awards to come, I am sure. I wish the cast and crew all the best in their careers.

a funny love story

This is a thoughtful story which makes you laugh and cry at the same time. While the subject matter - boy meets girl - boy and girl part - boy meets girl again and this time it works- not unusual it deals with the identity and relationship issues in a really moving and original way. It has some super actors who make the characters come alive. It also has some very original comedy This was mainly achieved by the use of the 'friends' who added a lightening touch and relieved the tension and made and the audience laugh out loud at the screening I attended. I particularly liked the background use of London landmarks and I also thought the choice of music for the sound track was excellent. I couldn't fault it!

Great film, which makes you laugh out loud and cry moments later

Dead Cat is one of those rare films which make you think, laugh out loud and cry all within moments of each other. It also showcases London and the amazingly talented young people who made the film on a shoestring budget. The main theme of the film is about a couple who realize the relationship they

lost as teenagers was perhaps the one they should have stayed with. But the sub plots are also really involving, focusing on identity issues and searching for that important other in ones life. The scenes by the river are so funny that the whole cinema was laughing. To sum up it is tender, funny and thoughtful and a must see movie.

A Delight

Saw this at Cambridge Film Festival way back in 2013 and have re watched it online several times since, a touching and funny romantic comedy.

The leads have real chemistry and the group of friends provide laugh out loud moments.

90 minutes or so spent in the company of a warm group of friends.
