Be My Cat: A Film for Anne

In 2015's "Be My Cat: A Film for Anne" we are introduced to an independent filmmaker from Romania who is so shooting some sort of documentary for a movie where he has planned to cast Anne Hathaway. It's a found footage movie with a scarily realistic approach and we follow the young man documenting the process of his movie for Anne as if it was a fan video dedicated to her. He is casting three young woman to be part of his movie that obviously don't know of his true intentions.

Adrian Tofei who is playing the aspiring filmmaker also directed the flick and his portrayal as this delusional sick man who is obsessed with cats and Anne Hathaway was really convincing and his acting was pretty good. The movie had a realistic feel to it which made it the more disturbing.

However the movie really takes it's time before something happens and it's really slow paced. There's pretty much no gore to be found which was surprising to me and you could tell that the budget was really limited. I honestly found myself bored throughout the film because except conversations not much is happening and even though Adrian Tofei's performance is entertaining it is not able to provide for almost 90 minutes. But still the movie is innovative and definitely unique and disturbing in its own way however that doesn't automatically make a great movie. [4,7/10]

As one reviewer says it's for found footage fans. At first I found the main character to be annoying and no charm but pushed through to see what will happen. I kinda got used him and found him funny at times. There is no "seen" gore which is sometimes the payoff in these films so it's okay. It's a 5.5 than 6 for me.

In all honesty, I don't know what to make of it. I do get that Adrian Tofei worked hard and was determined to make a movie that would make a lot of noise on the internet, but other than his good intentions, what was the point of it all?

The premise itself is fairly unique, I'll give you that. In fact, I don't think I have ever heard of anything like it. But that's about all I can say.

As for the main narrative, I love how it shows someone's limitless obsession and borderline insanity, as well as how these emotions could show up at any time in the most unexpected, unforeseen instances that could lead to even more problems.

I did end up watching it all so I can have a complete picture. It's awful beyond words, bad acting, bad dialogue, worse script. Can't imagine what twisted minds (except the creator) agreed to support this effort. The only thing I liked was the end song. I hope Anne never sees or even hears about this film (and that is from Romania).

A nasty film for fans of Gaspar Noe and the film Man Bites Dog in particular. Avoid if you don't like realistic or extreme horror.
