Cat Person: A Thriller Examining Modern Dating

This year’s Sundance International Film Festival edition included the world premieres of many critically praised films, including Past Lives, Passages, and Polite Society, amongst others. Although one of the most talked-about movies of the festival had previously prompted hours’ worth of internet fury, curiosity, and pity years before the movie had even been announced, it was still one of the most talked-about movies during the festival. Based on a controversial short story published in The New Yorker, Cat Person examines the dangers of modern dating in a way that can be hilarious at times but is more often than not scary. Fans of the essay and many others are already anticipating its release because it features a cast of some of the biggest up-and-coming stars in Hollywood and a story anyone can relate to if you’re wondering how, where, and when to see this thought-provoking festival, you’ve come to the right place, darling.
