An anti-romance movie or a satire o society?

Rating: 9/10 (18 September 2017)

Rather a critique/ satire of the way society can influence a relationship. I really like the way Lanthimos satirize society in his films, and even if I saw right now only two of his films (and don't have very much films by the way) I can see that he develop his style of making social commentary by exaggeration and absurdist situations. Of course he isn't the only one who is doing this, but his style of making those things is quite special, and personally I adore it. The Lobster is a film when you can discuses his symbolism and meaning for a while, and the humour and the absurd style of the narrative it's keeping the film for getting boring quickly. I'm not going to discuses it here anyway, yet I want to mention that I like (and I think that Lanthimos did a better job with) the symbolism/ satire here more than in Κυνόδοντας (Dogtooth), however as a move as whole I prefer Κυνόδοντας (Dogtooth) over The Lobster, I just consider that he did a better satire of society here, that's it. And yes, the aspects of society both movie critique are different, is just my opinion that the execution and the way he placed in the movie is more on my preference. Wow I talk more about this aspect that I talk about the movie itself. What absurd, but honestly I'm quite bad at ending reviews, so I will left you here.
