A Street Cat Named Bob
This is the true-life story of an injured stray tabby cat named Bob who adopted homeless drug-addict James Bowen (Treadaway) and turned his life around in the most spectacular fashion – together, they’ve sold five million books. So far, so upbeat: yet this is still a slyly subversive film with a social point to make as it highlights James’s isolation in a cold, hard-faced London which responds better to animals than its hopeless humans. A standout performance from Treadaway.
