Highly symbolical (and/or absurd) and thought-provoking

Rating: 7/10 (17 March 2018)

Here's a note I wrote to my friend who had endorsed the film to me:
"I have just watched The Lobster, which you also recommended. It was very good. Perhaps the best "artsy" film I have seen (rating: 7/8 out of 10). I can easily imagine that it sits very well with a cinephile like yourself.
I can also understand why some people hate this kind of movie. It is probably a matter of whether one is willing to watch a movie as symbolism - and still feel that you get something out of it. If you watch this kind of film through glasses of realism you will feel frustrated.
The movie emphasized many points about relationships and relationship status in our culture and it also had a beautiful symbolism about sacrifice in love."
