If I were to start out giving you a synopsis of Laura Gets a Cat, it’d seem like a very dull film. This is because it does such a great job of representing all of the small setbacks and disappointments that the world (and sometimes our selves) dumps upon someone on their way to finding meaning in their career and life. If I described all of that to you, you might wonder why you should watch it. Maybe you are already living it (or have). However, in just his second feature, writer/director/co-star Michael Ferrell brings a sweet, funny and relatable appeal to the story through the use of good dialog and an unconventional main character who sometimes gets lost in her dreams (taking the viewer along for the ride).
