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.”

Like all good satire, it takes what's already obvious about the world around us and just transforms it into something new.

Part of the joy of Lanthimos's film is seeing in it any degree of subtext you like.

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.

An imaginative and jet black adult dystopia all adds up to one delightfully odd, and predominantly satisfying, chapter of Grecian satire.
