The Alley Cat

About This Movie

The Alley Cat is this introspective drama that kind of creeps up on you. It’s a road movie, but with a twist—Jasper bikes through Chicago at night, and it’s not just about the race she leaves behind. There’s this raw, gritty vibe throughout, almost like you're cycling alongside her, feeling every twist and turn of her journey. The pacing has this lovely ebb and flow that captures both the thrill of the ride and the weight of her emotional baggage. The city itself feels alive, a character in its own right, with practical effects that ground the whole experience. It’s not just a race; it’s a search for something deeper, a resolution you can feel coming but still surprises you when it hits.

Unique blend of drama and road movie. · Strong sense of place with Chicago as a backdrop. · Exploration of emotional themes through physical journey.
