The short story I mentioned: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/12/11/cat-person

I cut out a long review of the movie afterwards because of sound quality, and I just felt very emotional at that time. Maybe I'll write something on it, because it's a great movie with a very divisive ending.

Nothing in Cassie's life is what it appears to be -- she's wickedly smart, tantalizingly cunning, and she's living a secret double life by night. Now, an unexpected encounter is about to give Cassie a chance to right the wrongs from the past.
