Karen Han Polygon So while the cats may be the initial draw in this film... what really makes A Whisker Away worth watching is its dissection of growing up enough to face difficult feelings head-on and to think seriously about other people's emotions as well. Jun 22, 2020 Full Review David Ehrlich indieWire What "A Whisker Away" loses in terms of flow and legibility, it makes up for in its celebration of the fullness of human life. Rated: B Jun 19, 2020 Full Review Nick Allen RogerEbert.com The cute factor in Netflix's anime film A Whisker Away is bountiful enough, even if its love story of naive obsession is a little more than worrisome. Rated: 2.5/4 Jun 18, 2020 Full Review Bianca Garner In Their Own League Once the film embraces its fantasy elements, it becomes a lot more entertaining. Rated: 3/5 Apr 6, 2022 Full Review Rachel Wagner rachelsreviews.net The magic is both delightful and scary at the same time. Rated: 7/10 Aug 17, 2020 Full Review Courtney Lanning Arkansas Democrat-Gazette The lighting and colors are the strongest part of this movie. It's such a bright and colorful film, and the art alone inspires some real joyful tones. Jul 1, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

valentin d La claque que c'est ce film Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/24/24 Full Review Ian S Girl gets rewarded for being an obsessive stalker type. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/03/24 Full Review Tom F Lovely girl/cat animation, the story is nothing special. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/16/24 Full Review Jyoti Ranjan M Excellent, heart touching ! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/10/24 Full Review butterfly2507 why are we glorifying and romanticizing stalking and obsessive behaviour?? Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/29/24 Full Review Ed *Fun fact:* the average middle school relationship lasts 2-6 months. I went into this knowing the premise seemed problematic, but persevered because 1: cats and 2: another review said it was comically bad. Fortunately, the cats came through, but the comedy did not. Granted, I can't really criticize middle school logic too much, but her stalker-esque relationship didn't seem that healthy. Also, I'm still not convinced that the male lead reciprocates because loving a cat is very different from loving a person. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/29/23 Full Review Read all reviews
