Leave your thoughts about The Cat's Meow.
| Los Angeles Daily NewsBob StraussA delectably nasty slice of Hollywood history gets a sympathetic -- but still nicely barbed -- Hollywood treatment in The Cat's Meow. |
| Village VoiceJ. HobermanA better-than-competent period evocation that allows the director to flaunt his knowledge (and perhaps vent some of his own bitterness) regarding Hollywood. |
| Orlando SentinelRoger MooreWell-cast, smartly directed and mounted, it's built upon an intriguing piece of Hollywood lore. |
| Rochester Democrat and ChronicleJack GarnerAn intriguing, richly detailed look at the early days of Hollywood power and glamour. |
| Boston PhoenixGerald PearyAn often splendid lesson in the lost directorial arts of framing and camera movement and (Robert Altman excepted) ensemble acting. |
| Washington PostAnn HornadayBogdanovich, making his first feature film in nine years, simply seeks to tell a compelling story and to tell it well. This he does, if a bit sedately. |
| San Diego Union-TribuneDavid ElliottJolting into Charleston rhythms, the story has the sizzle of old news that has finally found the right vent (accurate? Who cares?). |
| Dallas Morning NewsPhilip WuntchA great-looking movie that entertains without requiring empathy. |
| Filmcritic.comJeremiah Kipp[Bogdanovich's] old-school cinematic technique doesn't call unnecessary attention to itself, though it also never gets beyond the surface prettiness of his actors. |
| Common Sense MediaNell MinowThis story about a possible murder isn't for kids. |
