Teddy B @RT90521672 14 hrs ago Mendacity. Disgust. Lies packed into lies packed into lies. 'Cat On A Hot Tin Roof' triumphs in its unravelling, in the slow descent into madness Williams always so beautifully and tenderfully captures. The cinematography is gorgeous, the performances are excellent, and there is not a moment wasted in saying something, showing some dynamic, conveying the destabilising power of lies, betrayal, superficiality and insincerity... See more AC C @Mon_Alisa 6 days ago This is a movie you need to watch & sit with to appreciate else it comes off an emotionally draining look at a toxic family. The leads are impressive—it takes serious skill to convince us any man could be off put by Elizabeth Taylor throwing herself at him & Liz Taylor meanwhile dials up & takes her performance down to a whisper at the drop of a dime. For such an unlikable family, I was surprised to come away liking all of them (with the obvious exception of Mae). See more Robert P @Superbad Sep 7, 2026 Cat on a Hot Tin Roof = a *5* star Movie! See more Daniel M @MazzaQuePasa Mar 13, 2026 Just watched it for the first time and it was a pleasure going back to the golden era of Hollywood. The movie was slow and all dialog, but with characters were interesting and kept me invested. Newman and Taylor were polarizing to watch, you ca really tell that they were superstars back in the day. See more Keith B @Okbullard Jan 28, 2026 It started out pretty interesting but got long, tedious and boring for me. Paul Newman and Liz Taylor were both exceptional though. I'd never bother to watch it again. See more Ed . @RT01276001 Aug 29, 2025 Meow mix. Imperfect people eloquently conveyed by an American master, despite interference by production code enforcers of virtue. Big Burl's reminiscing of his hobo travels with his big daddy is poignant. Groveling Gooper, though transparent in his ham-fisted efforts to curry favor with Dying Daddy and magnify his inheritance at the expense of Baby Brick, is portrayed by Jack Carson with a fundamental decency. This movie taught me mendacity, literally, as well as acceptance of people with serious flaws. To those half=wits who rated this film a 1/2 star solely due to failing an historical litmus test: you're missing out on a fine work that elicits anger and heartbreak along with human goodness. If you trade in cattiness for some compassion, you will be better for it. See more Read all reviews
