37.) The Lobster [6/17/2016]

I am a huge fan of weird, minimalist narratives, so this one had me hooked from the trailer. The story could best be described as "magical realism" or "light science fiction." It concerns characters who can't find love, and as such enroll in a program at a hotel which will either find them companionship or turn them into an animal (hence, The Lobster). There is a rival group of single individuals living in the woods that terrorize those seeking companionship. Colin Farrell, who gave an incredible performance, lives with both camps, exploring the nature of love, relationships and sacrifice. I highly recommend this beautifully weird movie.
