A Truly Original Gem

Rating: 10/10 (25 February 2017)

The Lobster is one of those films that comes along every few years that truly amazes me. Not only for its originality, but also for its ability to make me rethink certain aspects of my life.
This film is a breath of fresh air amidst recent titles I've seen in the last few weeks. I only have one flaw of The Lobster; some slow motion sequences seem to go on a little too long. This is extreme nit picking in a film with a great screenplay, stellar performances (John C. Reiley was a hilarious contribution), solid direction to display the mood of the film and above all else, a great satirical look at love and relationships.
