The Lobster Ratings & Reviews
- WerusiaJuly 18, 2025Its a "good" movie, the premise is good, too bad I found it really boring.
- tnt.psdJuly 10, 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.
- Kevin WardJuly 2, 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.
- Kit LazerApril 9, 2025It’s such a funny but unpleasant watch, but it gets so wonderful as soon as you start thinking/reading about it. Full discussion soon on Streaming Things podcast.
- RyezooFebruary 20, 2025What 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
