...a missed opportunity that's rarely as engrossing or intriguing as its premise might have indicated.December 28, 2010
This story about a possible murder isn't for kids.June 24, 2006
Featherweight but fun.September 30, 2005
I thought this was an incredible cast and I thought they were all fantastic at bringing their characters to life.June 01, 2002
Despite all the closed-door hanky-panky, the film is essentially juiceless.October 18, 2008
The '20s-set pic is given considerable bounce by a splendid cast, led by Kirsten Dunst in an eye-opening perf as Marion Davies.May 25, 2002
The result is good gossip, entertainingly delivered, yet with a distinctly musty odour, its expiry date long gone.July 20, 2002
As the story progresses, the tension dissipates, probably because once Bogdanovich has set his wheels in motion, he just lets them spin.May 03, 2011
It's good to see Peter Bogdanovich working again, but his Hollywood tale feels like a minor, trashy TV melodramaAugust 03, 2004
It''s still a tasty footnote in the chequered histories of both Chaplin -- rumoured to be Davies' secret lover -- and Hearst.October 15, 2009
The strongest achievement of The Cat's Meow may be the performances, especially those of Kirsten Dunst (Davies), Edward Herrmann (Hearst), and even Eddie Izzard (Chaplin).November 19, 2008
Though The Cat's Meow just sorta comes to a so-what ending and stops short, the getting there is delicious.
