Absolute unadulterated drivel

Rating: 1/10 (3 August 2017)

Set in a bleak future, where everybody seems to have been stripped of any resemblance of emotion or mental activity, this movie works on a ridiculous premise, and fails miserably as producing anything worthwhile.
The movie is billed as a comedic drama, but the only comedic element is the fact that the director makes you sit for 119 minutes, desperately clinging to the hope that this movie will eventually reach an even moderately acceptable conclusion. Which it doesn't.
The Lobster makes no attempt to explain the actions of any of the characters, and exits with an open ending just as pointless as the first 118 minutes.
I'm sure that the director is proud of this movie, and I would be too. Proud that I had actually convinced studio executives to back this mental retardation of the silver screen.
Don't! Just don't! You're better than that! Your life is worth more than this!
