The Lobster

What to Know

Critics Consensus

As strange as it is thrillingly ambitious, The Lobster is definitely an acquired taste -- but for viewers with the fortitude to crack through Yorgos Lanthimos' offbeat sensibilities, it should prove a savory cinematic treat.

The Lobster | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Jordan Hoffman Esquire Magazine Like all good satire, it takes what's already obvious about the world around us and just transforms it into something new. Oct 18, 2018 Full Review The Lobster | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Danny Leigh Financial Times Part of the joy of Lanthimos's film is seeing in it any degree of subtext you like. Rated: 5/5 Dec 27, 2016 Full Review The Lobster | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Sara Michelle Fetters MovieFreak.com 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. Rated: 3.5/4 Aug 9, 2016 Full Review The Lobster | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Emiliano Basile EscribiendoCine Lanthimos' particular style, characterized by intense camera movements and exquisite shot compositions, is reminiscent of the best Kubrick. [Full review in Spanis] Rated: 8/10 Apr 11, 2024 Full Review The Lobster | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Calum Baker Radio Times Whatever specific satirical targets the film-makers have in mind are perhaps a bit oblique, but as a tragicomic study in the mechanics of love, it's an undeniably thoughtful and often potent piece of work. Rated: 4/5 Jan 12, 2024 Full Review The Lobster | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Zach Pope Zach Pope Reviews I really love THE LOBSTER its one of the most unique movies i've seen.

Ulley T I've never been super super in love with the ending, but wow do I still love this movie Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/19/24 Full Review S C A movie for the pretentious. In reality just awful. Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/17/24 Full Review Brad M Started out fairly interesting, but bombed in the middle to the terrible ending. Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/06/24 Full Review Grace h i did not like the movie at all, I think that it was trying to go to hard no making some point and in the process lost the audience. I liked the ending but it would not be for every one. it dose not give a ''Hollywood ending" and leaves the audience wonder what happen and having to make up their one mind. It covers some comments and some graphic scenes and show that some times you cant cheat the system and you have to play the game. Rated 1.5/5 Stars • Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 05/21/24 Full Review Tristan C Obscure, out their movie with a fantastic script, soundtrack and plot. Probably not for everyone but I absolutely loved it. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/29/24 Full Review Jorge C Tenía años que no la veía, y no sé si me paso la primera vez, pero me dejó el estomago dando vueltas. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/12/24 Full Review Read all reviews
