The Lobster

I guess they wanted to do something different but in my opinion it didn't work... I tried so hard to watch it all only because Colin Farrell was in it but I couldn't it was crap... waste of my money

This movie takes you on a ride quite like nothing I've seen before. quirky black comedy? ... abstract entertainment? ... social commentary on the potential selfishness, falseness and insecurities of relationships and their existence? ... who do you become if you are single? Very good film making which entwined funny and uncomfortable ...

This bizzaro movie randomly pops into my head all the time, as I draw yet another parallel between it and reality. Agonisingly accurate, hilariously and tragically funny, this film uses it's surreal premise to skewer our far more bizzare acceptance of certain judgements regarding relationships, self worth, and worth to society. It's actually only surreal in very small ways, because it's real power comes from its utterly Literal, absolutely unflinching acting out of the ridiculous things we tell ourselves and each other. I love this movie so much for how well it turns our perspective into something brand new.
