The Lobster Ratings & Reviews
Ryezoo
February 20, 2025
What a weird experience this film is. It's so bleak and at the same time a dark comedy. The acting is great and the cinematography is even better. I loved how original this film is and it kept me intrigued the duration of it's runtime. The ending left me wanting more and that's why it ends up with a rating of 7 out of 10
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
Farrell absolutely kills it as David. Weisz gives one of her best performances since her Oscar-winning turn in The Constant Gardener.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
Lanthimos doesn't deliver all the way, but he sticks his landing mightily and whets appetites for whatever he decides to do next.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
The Lobster is what would happen if Wes Anderson set about doing Franz Kafka, with a hefty dash of George Orwell thrown into the mix: surreal, comic, sad, strange, beautiful, sublime.
Newsday
Rafer Guzman
Highly original and mordantly funny. Perfect for fans of Franz Kafka, Charlie Kaufman and other bleak surrealists.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Calvin Wilson
If you're open to embracing a film that declines to pander to expectations, you should definitely make a date with "The Lobster."
Washington Post
Stephanie Merry
The movie is worthwhile, thanks to a marriage of peculiar humor and thought-provoking content.
Boston Globe
Peter Keough
It takes a touch of audacity and madness to make a film like this, a screwball, absurdist tragedy that might be a little too long and contrived for some viewers' taste.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
Everyone's excellent in "The Lobster," and the suffocatingly bland settings brake just short of monumental claustrophobia.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
People say this kind of thing all the time - I'm pretty sure I have a time or two - but "The Lobster" is unlike any movie you've ever seen.
Baltimore Magazine
Max Weiss
There is so much more, but part of the (perverse) pleasure of The Lobster is how it keeps you off guard, never lets you feel settled.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
This is the type of film I'm going to watch multiple times, obsessing over every choice Lanthimos and his talented team of cinematic craftsmen made in order to see it come to life.
Austin Chronicle
Josh Kupecki
The Lobster packs a wicked punch, eviscerating modern romance in surprising and evocative ways.
Esquire Magazine
Jordan Hoffman
Like all good satire, it takes what's already obvious about the world around us and just transforms it into something new.
Chicago Reader
Leah Pickett
Lanthimos forgoes easy sentiments about the transformative power of love; this may turn off some viewers, but there's a certain liberation and even some relief in knowing that societal pressure to settle down can be just as cruel as loneliness.
Salon.com
Eileen G'Sell
Lanthimos's unsettling tour de force reminds us of how chained to coupledom dignity remains at both the private and public level.
Associated Press
Jake Coyle
[Lanthimos'] commitment to his high-concept tragicomedies is extraordinary.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
Lanthimos works the premise assiduously, especially after the Farrell character escapes and joins a band of rebel singles in the woods, and though the story slows to a crawl near the end, the poker-faced dramatization of a warped world is compelling.
The Verge
Tasha Robinson
Lanthimos and Filippou keep the audience guessing about their ultimate ends right up to the final shot, and beyond.
San Francisco Chronicle
Walter V. Addiego
If you can live with its blemishes, "The Lobster" is a bracing experience.
