<\/span>A dystopia where being single is punishable:<\/span> The Lobster is a dystopian dark comedy that<\/span> takes place in a society where being single is forbidden, and the punishment for failing to find a romantic partner in 45 days is being transformed into an animal of your choice. The protagonist, David (Colin Farrell) finds himself single after his wife leaves him, and gets checked into a hotel with other single people, where he\u2019s expected to find a partner. Policies are severely enforced at the hotel, including requirements for strict monogamy and prohibiting any romantic contact between singles who aren\u2019t in a relationship yet. David eventually becomes romantically involved with another single person, but when she becomes blind, he must decide whether to remain with her or find another partner. The film provides an innovative depiction of the concept of love, relationships, and the pressure society places on individuals to conform. You can watch The Lobster on <\/span>Netflix<\/a><\/span> or <\/span>Amazon<\/a><\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
