Una surreale commedia romantica a tinte sci-fi che ci porta in un prossimo futuro dispotico, dove il solo fatto di essere "single" diventa motivo di fermo da parte delle autorità con tanto di trasferimento in una apposita struttura "riabilitativa" e la potenziale conseguenza di essere trasformati in animali se non si ottempererà all'obbligo di avere un partner.
Dove guardare The Lobster
- Garrett Wilkins5 gg faYorgos Lanthimos presents one of the most original premises in modern cinema, imagining a world where remaining single becomes a punishable offense. The Lobster embraces that bizarre foundation with unwavering confidence through deadpan humor and uncomfortable social satire to question the expectations surrounding love, relationships, and conformity. Colin Farrell's restrained performance complements Lanthimos' detached style, and the rest of the supporting cast generally commits well to the film's peculiar rules. Whether or not every idea lands, there is little doubt that the film possesses a creative identity unlike almost anything else in contemporary cinema. For all the film's originality, however, The Lobster never resonated with me that strongly. The intentionally distant tone left me admiring the concept more than becoming invested in the story. While the film never runs out of strange ideas, not all of them carry the same emotional or narrative weight. Having later seen The Killing of a Sacred Deer, I found that Lanthimos' distinctive style connected with me far more in that film than it did here. Even so, The Lobster deserves credit for refusing to compromise a singular vision, resulting in a film that remains memorably ambitious. Ultimately, The Lobster left me more appreciative than captivated.
- macaronz19 aprile 2026The Lobster is definitely one of those films that stays with you long after the credits roll because there is nothing else quite like it. It’s an incredibly unique concept in a near-future world where singles have 45 days to find a partner or be transformed into an animal of their choice. It strikes a perfect, uneasy balance between deadpan dark comedy and genuine disturbance. I still find myself revisiting it, and it never loses its strange charm. Truly a one-of-a-kind experience.
- tnt.psd10 luglio 2025The disabled limp guy got with the girl from The End of the F*ing World. It’s not fair. Overall, I like this one—very weird, freaky, as per usual with this director. Hopefully The K*lling of a Sacred Deer will be better… or worse. Léa Seydoux is in this, which means I’m going to have to extend this review with blatant lusting. I’ll come up with something crazy to say later, but right now I need to bike 20 miles—because I bike 20 miles every night while watching movies. The most unrealistic shit about this movie is that nobody wanted to get with Léa Seydoux, and that she’s the leader of the Loners. What’s wrong with these people? Have they gone insane? Being the only rational person in an irrational world is truly hell.
- gnrrain26 marzo 2026Dry. Deadpan. Stilted. These are a few words I would use to describe the acting in this movie. This isn't necessarily a negative, especially if you've ever seen any of Yorgos Lanthimos' other movies - this is par for the course. It's unique. It's odd. It's chock full of strangeness. Is it good? I think that'll wholly depend on what you're looking to have for your movie experience. If you are looking for crazy metaphorical diatribe coupled with an absolute flair for "what the hell" moments - this will fulfill that itch easily. If you are looking for anything other than what I just described - don't watch this. It's not for you.
- M08Y20 agosto 2025The Lobster is a facinating journey into the social pressures to be something spesific, in this case either happily in a relationship or happily alone. This film handles the social extremeism on the subject subtly but without ever losing sight of what it's trying to say. The world of The Lobster is... seriously strange. Is this done to illustrate the insanity of social peer pressure? Who knows? Not I. There are many aspects of this film that I feel like I'm only just seeing the edges of but am yet to grasp fully. The bluray looked and sounded perfectly fine. Cast was very strong and the pacing was excellent.
- Kevin Ward2 luglio 2025Yorgos is such a freak and I’m here for it. He loves to utilize absurdist narratives as a way of holding a mirror up to the audience and reveal how ridiculous we are. In The Lobster he reflects our absurd societal norms regarding courtships, relationships, and marriage back at us and it is absolutely hilarious. The cast is stellar, wonderfully delivering, Yorgos’ signature deadpan dialogue. Colin Farrell, Olivia Colman, and Rachel Weisz are just perfect in every scene. Love Lanthimos’ work so much.
