Movie reviews: The Lobster, Pan, The Program
In this world, those who find themselves living alone — such as David (Colin Farrell) — are sent to The Hotel, where they have 45 days to find themselves a soulmate; if they don’t, they are turned into an animal.
Written and directed by Yorgos Lanthimos (Dogtooth), The Lobster follows David’s fumbling attempts to find love, or — given that David appears to be a dour, independent spirit content to live unhappily ever after — enough of a facsimile of love to persuade the powers-that-be to allow him remain living as a human.
