Shedding

Full disclosure: I'm related to the writer/director and the producer, however, I'm not a pushover and I can be an even tougher sell. But as I watched this film, I found myself weeping without even knowing it---hot tears pouring down my cheeks in the middle of the afternoon. Somehow, this very quiet film spoke to me so very much. Do I have an unanswered question or two: hell yeah. Did I have to suspend my disbelief throughout most of the film: most definitely. Something like this couldn't REALLY happen. But it's really lovely and you don't have to be a cat person to appreciate the lessons learned. That said, if you are a cat person, best of luck trying to get through the home movie footage at the end without running to the nearest shelter. TEN STARS. (Plus an extra one for Panda and his rascally brother, both of whom are naturals in front of the camera.)

I really enjoyed this film even though I had no idea what to expect. I actually found myself relating a cat and I'm not even a cat person. Be prepared though. It's not your typical movie but it's an artistic take on love and grief.

Shedding is a really engaging and artistically directed film. I'm not a "cat person" per se, but even I enjoyed the mysterious journey of a cat who wants to get outside - and has a unique adventure! Put it on when you need something heartwarming and whimsical.

Wow!!!! Loved this! A subtle story, yet the power of it sneaks up on you! The animal shots are playful yet purposeful. The transformation that occurs in Panda becoming human is amazing! The lead human actor did an astonishing job of becoming a cat in every way! Kuddos to him!! SHEDDING is the kind of film that I will watch again and probably soon. There are layers to it, and it allows us to unpeel ( or should I say shed) some of ours.

Boring watch, really a reality of what would happen if a cat became human but with no funny moments or interesting takes on things, no explanation as to how a human could walk around naked in the street, had to turn it off when he got in a cardboard box in someone's driveway
