Tom Hoopers musicalverfilming Cats beleefde op maandagavond zijn wereldpremière en op sociale media wordt de film zowel ‘magisch’ als ‘geil’ genoemd. Een greep uit de eerste reacties:

Uh, #Cats is kinda great? Everything that seemed weird in the trailers just melts away when you’re watching the film. It’s magical and just plain works with the sole exception of Taylor Swift’s original song about the cats devouring the corpse of an old woman who died in her flat

#CatsMovie is 120 minutes of pure and utter insanity and I may never sleep again

somehow was unaware that Ray Winstone played Growltiger in CATS and let me tell you I hooted and hollered

Having seen #CatsMovie, the Academy's failure to include 'Beautiful Ghosts' on the original song shortlist was a bad move. Obviously, voters left it off because 'Cats' hadn't screened yet. But the song — a bookend to 'Memory' — is great. I already can't get it out of my head.

I genuinely hope that everyone seeing the big film this week enjoys it. Not all the time you see something so special and unique at the theaters. Talking about #Cats of course.

If they don’t then they’ll be scarred for life. Salute to those writing reviews 🙏
