'It's hard to describe how strange this film is'
Following early screenings of the CATS movie, reactions are pouring in on Twitter and they're as scathing as you'd imagine. The Andrew Lloyd Weber musical, which first premiered in 1981 and is based on T.S. Eliot's 1939 poetry collection, Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats, is beloved on Broadway despite its inherently absurdist storyline. In fact, it's the fourth-longest running show on Broadway, and the sixth-longest running West End show in London.
All that love has yet to translate to audiences of the CATS film adaptation, though, which is directed by Tom Hooper and stars ballerina Francesca Hayward, James Corden, Judi Dench, Jason Derulo, Idris Elba, Jennifer Hudson, Rebel Wilson, Ian McKellen and Taylor Swift as a group of"Jellicle cats" who gather once a year to choose a cat to ascend to a different life. It's bonkers.
At the Thrillist, Esther Zuckerman writes,"Of course, Hooper has assembled an all-star cast to turn into what are essentially mid-transition Animorphs, all of whom are hampered by the weirdness of the endeavor." Vox says CATS"is ludicrous and kind of divine, furry and flabbergasting, absurd and, in some moments, weirdly touching." Mostly the reviews for this very difficult to review film have rolled in on Twitter, the best of which are rounded up below.

Oh God, This Promo Special Saluting Cats Is TragicIt’s been more than two weeks since I first saw Tom Hooper’s big-screen adaptation of Cats, and still I’m wondering at what point those responsible for its existence realized they had a turkey on their hands. How far did they all get before they realized, “Yikes, we really fucked up”? Intensely hyped, ostensibly anticipated flicks that end up losing a shit ton of money come around once or so a year, if we’re lucky. For those of us who revel in pop culture’s back alleys, devouring the contents of its trashcans, Cats is momentous. Its fallout and the ensuing bafflement from critics and moviegoers has been way more entertaining than the movie itself.
