The Lobster (2015)
Movie
Released
The absurd rules of companionship are delivered with a deadpan discipline that makes social pressure newly visible. Colin Farrell's awkwardness gives the concept a human foothold. The deliberate cruelty can also make the argument feel over-insistent; your response may depend on whether a fable's distance creates insight or simply keeps you outside.
