Bizzare and compelling film marred by animal cruelty and human cruelty too. The beginning of the film has charming characters and wicked dark humor. Colin Firth is likable for once and very good in this role.
Incredible movie. Just like with Kynodontas, the director offers a completely over-the-quirk story, but this time with money and means to make a truly beautiful picture, not just an intriguing one.
But, just like with Kynodontas, the story goes through some of the same steps (including the ending) and it's a shame this movie can't stand more on its own rather than in comparison with the previous (and very, very similar) works of the director.
Also, the soundtrack is impeccable.
Worst film I've seen in years. It tries so hard to be pretentious while beating you over the head with the point. It feels like they were so obsessed with being unique and quirky that they forgot to make an actual movie. Also it's way, way too long. This movie really sucks.
Weird, dark, and yet oddly apt in its disdain for modern society's one size fits all approach to modern love. There's a vague sense that the film's also speaking about romantic films too which gives it an almost Meta-awareness.
None of the latter parts seem to build much of a cohesive whole, but they do paint a solid picture of the film's view of the world. Directed with a breezy elan, The Lobster is very funny, very awkward, and very strange. Just like dating.
I cried laughing. Grossly funny and so brilliantly weird, I relished every second of its wonderful absurdity. It's a darker than dark comedy, to say the least.

Probably the most violent film I've seen in a while.neocowboy
The first half is hysterically funny and the second disquietingly disconsolate.Stands out as one of the most memorable from 2015 for me.
