Review of Cats (2019)

By Joshua Rothkopf (1,058) for Time Out (7,510) on 18 Dec 2019

Cats may flop but it will be found by a likeminded audience, maybe the same one that rescued The Greatest Showman…

Review of Cats (2019)

By Leah Greenblatt (734) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 18 Dec 2019

Even after 110 tumbling, tail-swishing, deeply psychedelic minutes, it’s hard to know if you ever really knew anything — except that C…

Review of Cats (2019)

By Eric Kohn (1,203) for IndieWire (3,631) on 18 Dec 2019

It takes some ambitious swings and works on its own terms in fits and starts, all while not really working at all. Like the T.S…

Review of Cats (2019)

By Michael O'sullivan (1,712) for Washington Post (9,851) on 18 Dec 2019

None of this is by way of saying that Cats is bad, per se. In fact, some of the songs are pretty toe-tapping at times…

By Alissa Wilkinson (499) for Vox (725) on 18 Dec 2019

It’s literally incredible. I hope I never see it again…

Review of Cats (2019)

By G. Allen Johnson (514) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 18 Dec 2019

I found “Cats” pretty bland, but it has its moments of catnip, and as a holiday movie option that anyone could see, it might be just the ticket…

Review of Cats (2019)

By Matthew Dougherty (34) for IGN (1,013) on 18 Dec 2019

Cats’ special effects render director Tom Hooper’s star-studded adaptation of the Broadway classic a lifeless disaster, though a few of…

It’s an ugly stray who smells bad and should not be invited into your home, certainly…

Review of Cats (2019)

By Stephen Whitty (1,794) for Screen Daily (1,021) on 18 Dec 2019

Badly cast, broadly directed, and hampered by a book that hasn’t aged well since the musical’s 1981 West End debut, it’s hard to imagine…

Review of Cats (2019)

By Manohla Dargis (1,909) for The New York Times (9,847) on 18 Dec 2019

Generally, Hooper pulls away from loony-tunes excess, tries for sexy rather than freaky, and plucks at heartstrings, a reflex that pulls the…

Review of Cats (2019)

By Alison Willmore (681) for New York Magazine (Vulture) (3,519) on 18 Dec 2019

There is something magical about the simple fact that this movie exists, in all its obscene, absurd wonder, its terrible filmmaking choices…

Review of Cats (2019)

By John Nugent (191) for Empire (3,446) on 18 Dec 2019

Destined to be an instant guilty pleasure, Cats is an insane musical experiment gone wrong. It is truly like nothing cinema has ever seen…

Review of Cats (2019)

By Richard Roeper (2,737) for Chicago Sun-Times (7,580) on 18 Dec 2019

Cats is a slick and tedious and weird-looking exercise in self-indulgence…

Review of Cats (2019)

By Brian Lowry (913) for CNN (497) on 18 Dec 2019

Cats isn't quite the unmitigated disaster that some feared -- or perversely hoped -- but it's not good, delivering a mostly incoherent adaptation…

Review of Cats (2019)

By Ignatiy Vishnevetsky (836) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 18 Dec 2019

Of course, Cats has always been ridiculous, just as it has always been ridiculed…

Review of Cats (2019)

By Justin Chang (1,535) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 18 Dec 2019

For the most part, Cats is both a horror and an endurance test, a dispatch from some neon-drenched netherworld where the ghastly is inextricable…

Review of Cats (2019)

By Peter Debruge (1,557) for Variety (12,700) on 18 Dec 2019
