Featured review
An excellent, thought provoking thriller.
College student Margot meets and flirts with a guy a few years older than her at her place of work, a cinema. The pair soon start a deep connection, via text, but reality doesn't quite match up to fantasy.
There are several meanings of the term cat person, one meaning I wasn't aware of, someone who can't differentiate between real life sex and porn.
First of all, getting to see this film proved to be something of a challenge, I had to travel over an hour, as it was never shown locally, a real shame, this film is well worth seeing.
Very intriguing, suspenseful, and pretty original, I can't think of many films like it. It's a film of two halves, there's comes a point where there's a real switch up, it goes up several gears.
Now, most of the reviews I've read follow the same sort of view, poor Margot, terrible and predatory man, I'd just like to give a different view point.
First off, Margot made most of the running, bombarding Robert with promises, without even truly knowing him, she got what she thought she wanted out if him, then discarded him when she got bored, maybe it's a generational thing.
The film doesn't actually make out that Robert is the guilty party, there's one scene in particularly where Margot realises, she got it wrong.
Had something happened to Margot in her past? Was she reliving a past trauma through him?
Emilia Jones and Nicholas Braun are both excellent, and credit for his casting, I don't mean this in a derogatory way, but he's not a muscular jock or a male model, he's a good looking guy next door, it made the story all the more believable.
That music, fire! So many great tunes, years since I last heard Sophie B. Hawkins.
Is it a film about consent, life choices, or using people? You decide.
Excellent, 8/10.
