Both these actresses deserve better than this.

By the time Catfight recycles its punchline for the third time, the power has gone out of its punch. But we'll never say no to a one-joke movie as long as it's a good joke.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 17, 2017

As troubling as it is punchily entertaining.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 12, 2017

Veronica is the trophy wife of a reptilian businessman. Ashley is a struggling artist who paints pictures of decapitated sperm. Both are vile.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Mar 10, 2017

Tukel takes a big risk in Catfight: using farcical means to weave together personal and political tragedies, so that each dimension feeds the other. The rough edges and occasional clunks are a small price to pay.

| Mar 10, 2017

Played with committed ferocity by the excellent Oh and Heche, this riotous state-of-the-nation satire may lack subtlety, but it has the courage of its socko convictions and certainly packs a punch.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 10, 2017

Sheer novelty powers this confrontational curio, up to a point. But the nastiness cuts both ways.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 9, 2017

It's an original movie that tries to hit you in the face with irony. The energy levels finally plummet, but it lands a few punches.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 9, 2017

What's it all about? Who knows? Perhaps, the difficult struggle to become an alpha female in a patriarchal world that hasn't yet invented the concept.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 9, 2017

The pessimism of Catfight is belied by the very lively performances from the two leads.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 8, 2017

The film's observations don't offer much depth or substance; the contemplation of destructive behavior in private mirroring destruction at an international level is sharp but hollow.

The argument that passively collecting money from a spouse's defense contracting and making money from strident protest art are equally unethical means, in this story's economy, The Daily Show and Halliburton are both guilty of war profiteering.

| Mar 3, 2017

Catfight is not the story of two gals who hate each other and then realize, over appletinis, how much they have in common. Tukel takes that tired clich and blows it to smithereens.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 3, 2017

Even when the humour doesn't pay off, Heche and Oh are never less than captivating.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 3, 2017

The enjoyably nasty satire "Catfight" doesn't pull its punches, literally or figuratively.

| Mar 2, 2017

Drawing its energy from revenge and its jagged humor from a black well of contempt for the wealthy, the movie fashions a world in which the only likable characters are the crazy and the doomed.

| Mar 2, 2017

In more ways than one, Catfight lives down to its title.

| Original Score: C+ | Mar 2, 2017

Catfight never gets silly enough to edge entirely into satire -- or grounded enough to pay off our emotional engagement. Still, it works a kind of dark magic.

| Feb 28, 2017

[A] razor-toothed takedown of obscene privilege in a world indifferent to real pain.

| Feb 28, 2017

Onur Tukel attempts to connect Ashley and Veronica's barbarity to the broader callousness of American life, but the satire is too blunt to really stick.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Feb 28, 2017
