I've been a cat lover my entire life and honestly haven't felt truly "seen" by an animal movie before now. SHEDDING goes so much deeper than cute cat moments. It doesn't rely on it's gimmick or get corny. It is an authentic expression of what life would truly be like for a cat to become a human and the beautiful thing about it is that it ends up exploring the nuances of the human experience with depth and quiet absurdity. It's as if someone made an awards-season-movie for cat lovers. It's such a highly original film and it trusts its audience with an intentional and meditative pace. I cried watching it. I was so genuinely moved by this small indie production.
