THEY’RE IN FOR THE FIGHT OF THEIR LIFE!

Prepare to sink your claws into Catfight, a brutal and darkly hilarious film that combines the violence of Fight Club and the poignant comedy of Arrested Development, all mashed into one of the most original and funniest movies of recent years.

Struggling artist Ashley (Anne Heche) and wealthy housewife Veronica (Sandra Oh) were friends at college, but their paths have not crossed since. When they find themselves attending the same event (Ashley working as a waiter at Veronica’s rich husband’s party), their initial thinly-veiled verbal pleasantries soon take a turn, leading to an all-out brawl and all-consuming rivalry that will keep these two locked in combat for years.

With supporting appearances from Alicia Silverstone as Ashley’s lesbian love interest, and Dylan Baker playing an overworked coma doctor, Catfight turns the portrayal of women’s fights in movies on its head in the most violent of ways possible, landing a killer satirical blow at modern day society.

The fuck?

I know - Arrested Development is many things, but poignant?

This will be playing at the Manor Twin arthouse cinema in Charlotte, NC with the director Onur Tukel in attendance for a Q&A after the screening on March 9. This is being put on by the Charlotte Film Society.

and Dylan Baker playing an overworked coma doctor,

"Coma doctor" sounds like something that someone lying about being a doctor would make up on the spot.
