Weird and Poorly Executed
I didn't end up finishing this movie. It was just kind of weird - it follows this lady with a side business (her main job is either trading stocks, telling fortunes, or composing music for TV - or all of them, who knows!) where she rents cats to lonely people.
While the premise sounds interesting and potentially poignant, it didn't really connect with me properly. I watched about 2/3 of the movie, and she rented cats to three different people. It was a bit sweet, but it didn't exactly delve deeply into the impacts of the cats on their lives. I wish that it had focused on one person throughout the movie, rather than multiple people.
2 stars. Not recommended.
