One of the most talked-about movies of Sundance 2023, CAT PERSON is a razor-sharp exploration of the gender divide, the quagmire of navigating modern dating and the dangerous projections we make in our minds about the person at the other end of our phones.
When college sophomore Margot (Emilia Jones – CODA) goes on a date with the older Robert (Nicholas Braun – SUCCESSION, ZOLA), she finds that IRL Robert doesn’t live up to the Robert she has been flirting with over texts. Susanna Fogel directs this genre-bending thriller about the horrors of dating in the 21st Century, adapted by Michelle Ashford from the acclaimed New Yorker short story by Kristen Roupenian.
