Cat on a Hot Tin Roof

JUST ONE PILLOW ON HER BED... AND JUST ONE DESIRE IN HER HEART.

An alcoholic ex-football player drinks his days away, having failed to come to terms with his sexuality and his real feelings for his football buddy who died after an ambiguous accident. His wife is crucified by her desperation to make him desire her: but he resists the affections of his wife. His reunion with his father—who is dying of cancer—jogs a host of memories and revelations for both father and son.

Reviews:

  • Ulises Wells
    An absolute snooze fest. The pacing was terrible, and it felt like nothing ever happened.
    Rating: 1.5

  • Jackson Butler
    Way too long and dragged out. It had potential, but it lost me halfway through.
    Rating: 2

  • Luis George
    Great concept, poorly executed. There were too many plot holes, and the ending felt rushed.
    Rating: 2.5

  • Marisol Curry
    Not my cup of tea. The storyline was predictable and the characters lacked depth.

  • Kairi Jimenez
    The perfect blend of action, humor, and heart. One of the best movies I've seen in years.
