Directed by Rob Fruchtman and Steve Lawrence

More than half a million feral cats prowl the streets of New York City, struggling to survive each day. With no official policies in place to aid the abandoned animals or curb their growing population, animal welfare activists enter the breach. The Cat Rescuers follows four dedicated, street-smart volunteers working tirelessly in Brooklyn to help save as many felines in need as possible, no matter the personal sacrifices they must make. - Letterboxd.com

"While it movingly portrays the unique individuals committed to helping these cats, it doesn't quite tackle the full complexity of this subject. Still, no animal lover should be surprised to find themselves holding back tears while watching it." - Bilge Ebiri, New York Times, 7/5/19

Completing the all-star team are two actors with massive talent but even bigger egos: Hollywood heartthrob Félix Rivero and radical theatre actor Iván Torres. Both are legends, but not exactly best friends. Through a series of increasingly eccentric trials set by Lola, Félix and Iván must confront not only each other but also their own legacies. Who will be left when the cameras finally start rolling? - Letterboxd.com

"It dismantles the lofty ambitions of cinema as great, important and significant, a monument on the cultural landscape. Instead, it shows us art for ego’s sake, and it has a lot of wickedly spiteful fun doing so." - Wendy Ide, UK Observer, 8/28/22
