9. The Lobster
Trending
The Lobster, by Yorgos Lanthimos, is a satirical dystopia in which singletons have a given amount of time to find someone to fall in love with; failing to do so, they will be transformed into an animal of their choice. This darkly funny tale of absurdity explores the extreme lengths people will go to to fit social expectations over love and companionship. Through deadpan dialogue and surreal imagery, this film criticizes the commodification of relationships and the human need for validation. The story makes viewers rethink romantic love, autonomy, and the pressure society heeds about finding a lover.
