Cat Person(2023)

Storyline

• Margot meets Robert while working at the concession stand at a local independent movie theater. He comes in alone. Buys popcorn and candy. She is bored, and flirts with him, and they develop a stilted rapport. From the beginning, he is thin-skinned and insecure, but she finds that if she goes to the extra effort of not saying anything that might potentially offend him, they can pull off a playful banter. Does she have feelings for him, or are they copies of feelings? Robert is "cute enough that she could have drummed up an imaginary crush on him if he'd sat across from her during a dull class." She is 20 and knows that he's older, but thinks he's in his late 20s. He turns out to be 34. — Rialto Pictures
