This from my niece:
We rented THE LOBSTER.
It was nominated for an Oscar for writing and I would have voted for it. The writing was very inventive and fresh. You think something is one thing and it turns out to be something else.
It takes place somewhere people must be in couples. The lead man's wife has left him so he must go to "the hotel" and meet other single people to find a partner. People have 45 days to find a partner and if they do not then they are turned into an animal. There is a sincere need to find a partner, someone you have something in common with, because no one wants to be turned into an animal. You do get to pick what animal you want to be. He has chosen a lobster. Because a lobster can live to be 100 years old, they are sexually active all their lives, and he has always liked swimming. It is a serious movie with quirky bits. Or a black comedy with a biting edge.
It grows on you.
================================================
Anyone else see it? What is your opinion?
I think I'd try it, not so sure about DH.
