The public turned on the movie before even experiencing it.
Now Cats is fast becoming a religion. An instant stoner classic, bonding people who enter the insane world of Cats together.
The experience of seeing Cats is a singular one, so to speak. Tom Hooper's ill-advised adaptation of the most nonsensical musical of all time has been variously described as a disasterpiece, a thoroughly bizarre and deeply unsettling work of visual media, a piece of aggressive anti-art, a work of body horror that would make David Cronenberg cringe himself into oblivion, a confounding shitshow of digital tomfoolery, and then some.
It’s not a cult film for its dedicated repeat viewers who tease out deeper meanings. Its cultic power is immediate.
Cats captures at once the intense spiritual longing of our modern world and its concurrent alienation from established sense and meaning.
Some quotes from a Washington Post article on people who have experienced the psychedelic magic of Cats-
“The most incredible cinematic experience of my life.”
“Cried both times. Planning on going two more times.”
“I had a realization partway through that I am the only person in the world who understands ‘Cats,’ ”
“a particular cat I would love to do bad things to me.”
“When Judi Dench turned and looked me directly in the eyes to let me know that a cat is not a dog, I was terrified.”
"Just like, OK, we're doing this together, this is a thing that is transpiring, and we are bearing witness.”
Please, we encourage you to not overdo it. Remember the sexy, dancing, singing human-feline hybrids alone will blow your mind.
