Dame Judi Dench has criticised the 2019 Cats movie, describing it as a waste of talent and goodwill. The 91-year-old actress, who portrayed Old Deuteronomy in the film based on Andrew Lloyd Webber's 1981 musical, admitted she has never watched the final cut in its entirety. Dench expressed her strong aversion to the production, stating that she simply cannot bear to subject herself to viewing the completed cinematic version of the musical.
