Reviews
|
The Playlist -
In the end, all the strangeness adds up towards something genuinely significant: an atypically rich and substantial comedy that's stuffed with great scenes and performances even before you start to chew on its bigger questions.
|
|
Variety -
A wickedly funny protest against societal preference for nuclear coupledom that escalates, by its own sly logic, into a love story of profound tenderness and originality.
|
|
IndieWire -
Though at times almost too peculiar for its own good, The Lobster brings Lanthimos' distinct blend of morbid, deadpan humor and surrealism to a broader canvas without compromising his ability to deliver another thematically rich provocation.
|
|
The Hollywood Reporter -
A richly rewarding but often very disturbing, even harrowing work.
|
|
Hitfix -
Lanthimos presents a fully formed original vision that hits a perfect tone even when the narrative begins to get away from him a bit.
