Unique and at times fascinating, but painfully dull and dissapointing

Rating: 5/10 (18 January 2020)

Frustratingly dull, seemingly pointless, and a waste of potential, The Lobster squanders its could-be interesting concept, for something different and unique, but ultimately unsatisfying. Colin Farrell does a good job as David, the leading man in the film, as well as Rachel Weisz. All the actors in the film truly seem to be fully immersed in the concept and the script, but none truly bring any impressive measures to the table, or stick out significantly. The cinematography does make for a chilling and interesting atmosphere, but in the end does not prove to be of much use, and simply feels out of touch as it goes on. The film is slow, and at times has trouble finding what it wants to be. It can prove to be interesting, and provides some interesting insight into the society it brought up, but not enough to truly seem worthwhile. Again and again, the film proves to be disappointment after disappointment, and proves to be yet another dud this year from A24.
