After this film, I was finally convinced that I am an unconditional cat person. A few stories, a few furry bundles of joy and pressing social issues. Perhaps the kindest documentary film you can imagine. It's also worth mentioning and thanking the MOYGOLOS studio, which did a great job dubbing the characters (with the exception of the cats, of course). In some places, I admit honestly, it becomes quite boring to watch due to the pace of the story. But on the other hand, this is a documentary, not an action film. 'Cats' is a calm, kind, sometimes sad, but not very interesting film. The biggest plus is that we are shown real people with their real stories. I think that partly thanks to this film, some people can pay attention to the problem of unfortunate homeless pets around the world and try to help at least financially. But from a purely cinematic point of view, I will say that the film is long and could have been made shorter by at least 1/3, or even half. But overall, the film is sweet and kind and leaves a pleasant aftertaste.
This is the movie that made me get in the car and drive to the Newport Beach Film festival this year. The director knocked this one out of the park. An entertaining, uplifting film that moves the great conversation about masculinity forward. As a matter of fact, this movie turns the stereotype about cats upside down, too. The men came from different walks of life. Each one's story interesting and left you wanting to know more. The movie looks and feels like a Hollywood type budget movie with vast sweeping shots of beautiful landscape. Throughout the movie I was looking forward to what I would see and hear next.
Definitely, worth your time and price. Don't be shocked if you want to adopt a cat after this movie. Wish more movies were like this!

I caught 'Cat Daddies' last night at a showing in Columbus, OH and really enjoyed it! It's a pretty straightforward premise: the doc features 8 or so men and their pet cats and shows how their human-animal bond enhances the life of each "cat daddy". I kept expecting it to morph into a lecture on masculinity and the history of the femeninization of cat ownership (which I actually would have dug, too) but it didn't -- probably to its benefit.
The issues of gender, the effects of global warming, the state of American healthcare, Covid, homelessness, race, poverty, social media, etc are all present and important parts of these men's lives -- but they are woven through the film in a skillfully apolitical way. By steering clear of a social "deep dive", 'Cat Daddies' allows the focus to stay on the individual, emotional bonds between men and their cats, and -- like pet ownership itself -- remains something (most) everyone will probably enjoy!
