4/5

Clémence discovers the great joys, and attached sadnesses, of loving a cat with a will of its own. She learns empathy and joy, one purr, one death-defying leap, one loss at a time in a rare family movie of gentle pleasures.

3/5

the film is at its strongest and most original when it follows the cat’s perspective. It is particularly interesting to notice how the animals, despite being the titular protagonists of the film, don’t talk.

If you grew up loving films like the Homeward Bound series, then you'll probably like A Cat's Life, since much of the film is about Lou discovering the magic and perils of life in the wild.

The tonal and thematic shifts of A Cat's Life are so abrupt and drastic that they feel unfair...

…a grounded, clear-eyed film about how animals are, in some senses, more reliable than people…how we cope with the endless process of growing up is the point here…

This movie is dubbed. I took my 5 year old daughter and it made her cry unnecessarily. The plot was meaningless. But one star for the cute cats.

It was a cute movie but I didn't like the very ending I would of made a different ending for the movie. The movie doesn't deserve a rewatch .

This movie is basically a modern and foreign version of the Disney movie "Rascal" from the 1960s with a cat instead of a raccoon. The human plot is different but the general idea is 90% the same. Rascal was better, though. Still, this movie is better than most of what is playing nowadays.
