Weirdly Captivating

Rating: 7/10 (29 May 2017)

While this film has some predictable moments, it is one of those films that draws you in until the end, you know what is going to happen but the whens and hows will surprise you. As always Rachel Weisz and Colin Farrell deliver a wonderful performances. This could have just as easily been a war movie with partisans rising up against a cruel dictatorship, but is a love story. While the concept of single people having to find a partner or be turned into animals is interesting, it is a little far fetch, they go to all this trouble to find a partner but only have 45 days to do so, if you don,t want to be turned into an animal then go to the hotel meet someone and fake it!, wouldn't be the first time...unless there is some sort of rule that you can't try again later, needs a little more explanation.
Be warned this is a weird movie.
There are lots of weird movies out there but this one is at the top of the heap. Recommended if you are not looking for another rehash of an action flick or a love story.
