The Lobster, a dystopian satire, elicits mixed reactions with its unique blend of dark humor and social commentary. Viewers appreciate the film's originality and thought-provoking narrative, highlighting its critique on societal norms around relationships. The film's absurdity and the stark contrast between the oppressive hotel and the rebellious forest captivate some, while others find the pacing slow and the story somewhat confusing. Overall, it's praised for its creativity and the performances of its cast, though not everyone finds it accessible.

Assez singulier. Des personnes ne peuvent pas rester célibataires plus de 45 jours sinon elles seront transformées en animal (animal qu’elles auront choisi au préalable).
Un délire bien WTF
Début : Âne abattu Frère transformé en chien La musique m'évoque Psychose Veut être transformé en homard car ça vit longtemps
Histoire bizarre mais film remarcable
