120 minute running time … I liked this a lot but it ran about 20 minutes too long .. I never read the original short story it is based on … Susan Fogel also made Booksmart, which I hated because it was filled with F-bombs, but Cat Person was much, much better. It’s about a girl who goes to Farleigh Dickinson U. (never named), she’s a 20-year-old sophomore … I liked that her Pomfret sweatshirt identifies her as a rich kid … she’s very attractive … there’s a tall, creepy, awkward 33-year-old guy that she has a relationship with… there’s a lot of texting involved (2023 movie after all). It’s pretty insightful about youth culture, I guess, the little I know of it. The main actress is really good, British it turns out… anyway, it’s a green-go recommended movie and since I saw it in the theater, I don’t have a screen-cap. The scene of terrible sex was hilarious and brilliantly done. I think I could do a fan edit and cut out a good 20 minute though to make it perfect. I guess a lot of people are upset about the tacked on last third of the movie compared with the short story, but I see why the filmmakers did it.

Shelia O’Malley correctly wrote: “The sex scene goes on forever! It's excruciating but also hilarious. Fogel and Ashford have found a way to explore what goes on in someone's mind during a bad hook-up, a hook-up you regret not just afterward but as it is happening. This is a very important scene, so perfectly realized it could have been a stand-alone short film.”
