How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A deadpan nightmare that treats romantic desperation as literal institutional horror. Yorgos Lanthimos creates something hilarious and deeply disturbing that defies easy categorization.

Reviews
I love when he kicks the little girl
I picked this because of Rachel Weisz, and other than that I went in blind (pun unintended but I'm keeping it). When Colin Farrell gets to the hotel and we learn has 45 days to find a wife or get turned into an animal of his choice, and that the dog with him is his brother... Whew. I was not expecting that, but I was on board and ready to go on this journey.
It is funny and dark and weird and sad and outrageous. I can't wait to watch it again.
