Conclusion: 3/5
I have to say that before watching this film I had never heard of Louis Wain. I have no idea how much is true or how much is made up. It is a film where I had no idea how it was going to end. I did feel that half an hour towards the end of the film it did start to struggle and was slow moving. This did remind me of the film Big Eyes (2014) in the way that it was about big eyes. In the film Louis Wain, the word cat is used 64 times!
