Not a Kristen Stewart fan? If you’ve only seen her in Twilight then that’s not that surprising. The Cake Eaters will make you change your mind. In this movie, she plays a chronically ill girl who just wants to live her life and experience love.
After the death of the Kimbrough matriarch, the three male survivors decide it’s time to do something to change their own lives. This is where Stewart’s Georgia comes into play, as she becomes connected to Beagle. Beagle’s brother is the boyfriend of Georgia’s grandmother, which certainly creates some tension.
13. The Lobster
What if you had to find love within 45 days or risk being transformed into an animal for the rest of your existance? That’s the setup for The Lobster. If a single person doesn’t find a mate within 45 days, they’re turned into an animal. The good news is they get to choose the animal they become but the downside is they’re an animal!
Based on the novel of the same name, it’s certainly an absurd creation. However, it’s strangely alluring. There are plenty of rules to follow in this dystopian future and steps to take to find love, but at the same time, there are some strange and traumatic consequences for not being good.
Colin Farrell and Rachel Weisz star in the 2015 movie.
