SYNOPSIS: 

After his wife left, David (Colin Farrell) is escorted to a hotel where he must found new love in 45 days or be transformed into an animal.

This is a weird movie. Yes, the genre is comedy but it's not the kind of movie that would make you laugh uncontrollably, no. This movie is black comedy or dark humor. It's weird and kinda disturbing but I tell you this, I just could not stop watching. The concept is interesting and I was intrigued to know how the story would end. 

The acting is quite awkward not because the actors and actresses are bad but it is intentional. Like I said, it's dark humor. If you have watched The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014) then you can guess how the acting is. The speech of the characters are somewhat robotic and monotonous, which is weirdly intriguing and funny.  

One other thing you must know in order to make this movie more intriguing to watch is it is rather philosophical. The whole movie is mocking how ridiculous our society is and the pressure of finding a place to fit in and belong. Even the ending is philosophical. To be honest, I am quite frustrated about the ending but I do understand the choice. It won't be philosophical if the ending gives what the viewer wants. The ending leaves the audience with questions instead of resolution.

Actually, I don't know how to further elaborate on how strange yet interesting this movie is. My recommendation is, if you like The Grand Budapest Hotel, then you might like this one since I think it is the weird and darker version of the movie. However, if you can't stand movies that look indie or slow paced, then you might not like it. 

4 out of 5 stars.
