About the Film

Yorgos Lanthimos's deadpan dystopian fable imagines a near-future society where single people are sent to a hotel and given 45 days to find a romantic partner — or be transformed into the animal of their choice. It's been called a masterpiece, a work of genius, a savage satire of modern dating. We thought it was a strange, overrated curiosity that mistakes flat affect for profundity.
