LOBSTER picks up right where WALRUS (a.k.a., TUSK) left off . . .

Rating: 9/10 (13 June 2016)

. . . in our increasingly anthropomorphic Society ("They're animals--just animals," to quote President-elect Trump). Imagine cramming all six seasons of LOST into a couple (admittedly commercial free) hours, and you get a pretty good idea of what LOBSTER is like. Exposition is kept to a minimum, as viewers are required to fill in an EXPENDABLES-outing worth of blanks for themselves. As best as I can make out, LOBSTER is meant to forecast America's Future under Trump Rules. These are a little bit more Fascist than CIDER HOUSE RULES, but probably something happened--like 50 shot dead in a Gay nightclub--which required The Authorities to adopt harsher measures than those championed by Bill, Hillary, and King Harald V. Apart from politics, LOBSTER is full of fascinating facts about Nature. Did you know that the title critter here has blue blood? I sure don't remember them that way, when I was forced to go on an annual cruise in Boston Harbor with all-you-can-eat lobster for a previous job. I guess you learn something new every movie.
