Major weirdness, disappointing

Rating: 1/10 (11 June 2016)

Don't be deceived by the clever trailer. Don't be drawn in by the top notch acting talent. This is full blown weirdness for the sake of being weird. Not very funny, unless you think a "red kiss," the cutting off of a couple's lips because they were seen kissing, is funny. Not quirky so much as flat, monotone, and slow as a lobster itself. The bulk of it consists of long dull flat monologues punctuated by an occasional chuckle and gratuitous maiming. Poorly paced, gratuitously violent, alternately odd, bizarre, and just plain stupid. "The Lobster" is bound to be a cult classic but unless you are about 21, steeped in surrealism and psychosis, and very angry about romance, it's not for you.
