Community Reviews

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.

👍 Original critique on societal relationship norms.

👎 May be confusing and slow for some.
