Leave your thoughts about Catfight.
| NYC Movie GuruAvi OfferAn intelligent, bittersweet and wickedly funny dark comedy. It's a guilty pleasure with razor-sharp wit, bite and tenderness. |
| Minneapolis Star TribuneColin CovertIf Woody Allen began adding "Raging Bull" episodes to his slices of upper-class urban absurdity, it would play like this. |
| We Got This CoveredDavid JamesHeche and Oh are both outright brilliant. |
| Film ExperienceNathaniel RogersAll three of its title-inspiring scenes, for example, extend way past their comic welcome and feel like pure sadism by the unsatisfying end. |
| The Film StageJared MobarakOh is fantastic as the earnest socialite who appears to have never lifted a finger towards work her entire life, but she’s also superb at the contriteness necessary to believe in a rebirth. Heche revels in playing a narcissistic taskmaster. |
| TheFilmFile.comDustin PutmanAgain and again, "Catfight" verges on astonishing in its go-for-broke, no-fucks-given audacity. |
| Cinema ScopeJosé TeodoroNothing in Catfight transcends the criterion of a violent funny animal cartoon, and this is perfectly fine. |
| Los Angeles TimesKimber MyersCatfight is the type of blackly comic film that works to alienate some viewers with its over-the-top approach and its unlikable characters. But those who enjoy its dark humor will cackle with mean-spirited delight. |
| MetroMatt PriggeAt its heart lies an existential Western about two tragic figures fated to spend eternity in locked horns, fighting for nothing, filled with so much hate they can never be happy. |
| The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisThe two leads are mesmerizing, hurling themselves into their physically demented roles with ferocious commitment. |
