Based on the best-selling graphic novel by Joann Sfar, The Rabbi's Cat tells the story of a rabbi and his talking cat - a sharp-tongued feline philosopher brimming with scathing humor and a less than pure love for the rabbi's voluptuous teenage daughter. Algeria in the 1930s is an intersection of Jewish, Arab and French culture. A cat belonging to a widowed rabbi and his beautiful daughter, Zlabya, eats the family parrot and miraculously gains the ability to speak. Along with the power of speech comes unparalleled sardonic wit, and the cat - and filmmaker Sfar - spare no group or individual as they skewer faith, tradition and authority in a provocative exploration of (among other things) God, lust, death, phrenology, religious intolerance, interspecies love, and the search for truth. Rich with the colors, textures, flavors and music of Mediterranean Africa, the film embarks on a cross continent adventure from the tiled terraces, fountains, quays and cafes of colonial Algiers to Maghrebi tent camps, dusty trading outposts, and deep blue Saharan nights in search of a lost Ethiopian city.

Review For The Rabbi's Cat

It's a wild and vivid ride and a spirited reminder of the kinship between Jewish and Arab cultural traditions.
Sheri Linden-Los Angeles Times

"Ambitious" isn't the word here; "random" is more like it.
Kyle Smith-New York Post

The film presents an often sharp commentary on dueling beliefs and idiocies that unfolds in lush pastel hues and distinctively retro drawings.
Jeannette Catsoulis-New York Times

Though we wander a bit, the trip is a delight, thanks to the witty company.
Elizabeth Weitzman-New York Daily News

An absorbing, nuanced, and vividly animated tale of adventure, ambivalent morality, colonial injustice, talking animals, and the vagaries of religious zeal and colonialism.
Sarah Fisch-Village Voice

It is often colorful, witty and inspired, but also too episodic, and lacks a strong ending.
Boyd van Hoeij-Variety

Sfar's enchanting portrait of a society in which Jews and Muslims live compatibly is a lesson for our time
Emily S. Mendel-culturevulture.net

It's a movie that packs all its ideas in beautifully animated doses, filled with Northern African music and landscapes. It may get clunky, but it's easy to get lost in its loveliness.
Nina Garin-San Diego Union-Tribune

One of the most grown-up animated features of the modern age.
Tim Brayton-Antagony & Ecstasy

A French animated film about the unusual quest of a rabbi, a skeikh, and a talking cat to discover the essential unity of life.
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat-Spirituality and Practice

Fascinating, clever animated tale not meant for young kids.
Sandie Angulo Chen-Common Sense Media

While the scenes don't always fit together thematically or tonally, each one is its own polished gem.
Tasha Robinson-AV Club

Despite its flaws, the film is at least a consistent vision, attesting through both its story and animation to the rabbi's right to be different while also striving for human solidarity.
Ed Gonzalez-Slant Magazine

For someone as gifted as Sfar at visual storytelling, the film is very, very talky. That said, voice work in French is a delight.
Lisa Nesselson-Screen International
