Eat Your Catfish

About This Movie

'Eat Your Catfish' is a raw and intimate documentary that pulls you right into Kathryn's world. The atmosphere is heavy, filled with a palpable tension as she navigates life with ALS, paralyzed yet fiercely articulate. It’s chilling how she communicates through eye movements, which gives the film an almost voyeuristic edge. The pacing is deliberate, allowing for reflection on the themes of disability, communication, and the fragility of existence. The practical effects are minimal, relying on the stark reality of Kathryn's situation, which makes her story hit harder. Performances are, of course, anchored by Kathryn's own words, delivered with poignancy that lingers long after the credits roll. There's something striking about how the film does not shy away from the harshness of her reality while still capturing her resilient spirit.
