Naughty aka Juli Norwood’s review published on Letterboxd:
"Be My Cat : A film for Anne" has breathed new life into Found Footage films! Ground Breaking Cinema that in my opinion surpassed the Holy Grail of Found Footage films.. The Blair Witch Project!
It didn't blur the lines between fantasy and reality it obliterated them! Never have I as a woman viewing a film felt so vulnerable and utterly helpless.. I was beside myself with mounting and unshakable fear!
I was shaken to my very core for the film felt too authentic! Too intimate! At times it was more than I thought I could bear! One of the MOST disturbing films I've ever encountered! Which begs one to question the director's terrifying propensity for evil and to what extent does it carry over into the real world! Call me a glutton for punishment because I put myself through this hell twice in the past 24 hours and foolishly enough I'm considering giving it another go this evening! I should be administered a damn good shaking!
An All Points Bulletin should be put out on Writer, Director, Actor, *cough* Serial Killer *cough* Adrian Țofei! I don't know how Anne Hathaway is coping with all of this! It's pretty heavy duty stuff to wrap your head around! I don't know how I'll ever sleep again with both eyes shut knowing this guy is not behind bars!
Seriously nobody can be that authentic down to the tiniest of details, I don't care how good an actor you are this goes well beyond good acting.. it felt like the real deal to me! So I am convinced he is a serial killer! The character development of said serial killer was astounding to the point I wouldn't be surprised if it was studied and used by profilers, FBI, and other law enforcement agencies!
I read another review discussing how the guy had met the Director at a film festival and to be quite honest if I were to discover we were in the same building I would literally Freak the Hell out! And not in a good way either I'd be running with arms flailing wildly about all the way to the nearest exit lol With that being said I can't wait to view his next film! ;-)
I still can't believe this is his first film! Color me totally creeped out and massively impressed!
Big shout out to Florentina Hariton (Flory) Girl you deserve a freakin standing ovation for your terrifyingly realistic and haunting performance!
I honestly don't want to give away too much so I'll end it here! See IT!
Naughty Approved!
