Critic Reviews of "The Lobster"
Miami HeraldJune 01, 2016The Lobster argues that the kind of pressure society places on us to find a soulmate can lead to reckless choices. But the movie gives the alternative - people who are happy being single - the same radical treatment.
Detroit NewsMay 27, 2016Lanthimos doesn't deliver all the way, but he sticks his landing mightily and whets appetites for whatever he decides to do next.
St. Louis Post-DispatchMay 27, 2016If you're open to embracing a film that declines to pander to expectations, you should definitely make a date with "The Lobster."
Chicago ReaderMay 26, 2016Lanthimos forgoes easy sentiments about the transformative power of love; this may turn off some viewers, but there's a certain liberation and even some relief in knowing that societal pressure to settle down can be just as cruel as loneliness.
NewsdayMay 26, 2016Highly original and mordantly funny. Perfect for fans of Franz Kafka, Charlie Kaufman and other bleak surrealists.
Salon.comMay 26, 2016Lanthimos's unsettling tour de force reminds us of how chained to coupledom dignity remains at both the private and public level.
Reel Film ReviewsApril 18, 2018The final result is a predictably off-kilter endeavor from an unapologetically avant-garde filmmaker...
Film Ireland MagazineMarch 28, 2018It is quite a miracle Lanthimos got this film to work. Not because of how leftfield it is, but because of the amount of international input that excels in it.
San Antonio CurrentJanuary 25, 2018Greek director/co-writer Yorgos Lanthimos designs a distinctive dystopian world and questions the idea of typical relationships and how couples connect at a surface level.
Flickering MythDecember 03, 2017The Lobster amounts to razor-sharp satire blasting away at the societal norms and constructs of relationships, but a shame that it decides to ditch its hotel setting full of intrigue
Cinema ScopeNovember 13, 2017The trouble lies in the film's noncommittal tone, which too often deviates from Lanthimos' reliable deadpan. Set against the earlier films' prickliness, The Lobster seems oddly ingratiating.
The Mail on Sunday (UK)October 26, 2017The Lobster is well-acted and its weird internal logic scrupulously maintained, but as the second half dragged endlessly on, I found its point as elusive as its ending.
