The Lobster
A good way to enjoy lobster on a budget is to chug a glass of warm garlic butter.
Oddly, the man in this dark-comedy actually wants to be turned into a crustacean.
In a world where relationships are paramount, singles are sent to a secluded hotel where they are given 45 days to find a partner, or be transformed into an animal of their choice. Recently dumped David (Colin Farrell) opts for life as a lobster if he is unable to find love.
Fortunately, he finds it in Short Sighted Woman (Rachel Weisz). Unfortunately, both are part of the resistance movement, which forbids relationships and wants to overthrow the single's hotel.
While this quirky dating world is well thought-out and the characters are amusing, the director's static shots and the script's monotone dialogue may become taxing for impatient viewers.
Furthermore, never become an animal that has -fest follow its name.
