I am short sighted too

Rating: 7/10 (28 August 2017)

This is a "what did I just watch?" type of film filled with dry humor on relationships.
David (Colin Farrell) loses his wife and goes to a rigidly run hotel to meet someone new and hopefully be able to be returned to the city. If he fails, he goes to the Transformation Room and is turned into an animal of his choosing, in his case a lobster. He is there with Bob, a dog who is his brother. Pairing is done rather oddly. One man gives himself nose bleeds so he can be judged compatible with a woman who suffers from nose bleeds. They pair and don't get turned into animals. Some humans resist being turned into animals and leave the hotel. They are called runners and are hunted by hotel guests to allot them extra time to pair up. David experiences life paired up, and then as a runner where he meets Rachel Weisz, a woman he truly loves. What he does for love will surprise you.
The film rates as an "oddball" which I might of found funny watching it with the right crowd instead of alone. It is a frank look at relationships and something that could be studied at film school. It asks the question, "If you could be any animal...." While at the same time making us realize no one really wants to be that animal.
Deeper than "Logan's Run" but not as blissfully entertaining.
