A very strange, but very humorous black comedy.

Rating: 7/10 (23 May 2016)

It was a strange and disturbing metaphor for society.
Collin Ferrell plays a man who just broke up with his wife and is forced to take up residency in a strange hotel resort badly designed to show you how important it is to be in a relationship, by having you do strange exercises like hunting down single people who are living in the woods, because society has outlawed being alone, and force you to commit to a new relationship with the threat of being turned into your favorite animal if you fail.
I get the feeling this is an outburst for the filmmakers who are not happy about the pressure society can put on someone to be in a relationship. I love how the movie kinda showed how relationships run their course and how we look for people who are similar to us. Specifically the resort for single people tended to match up people with the most superficial similarities like short slightness or a limp.
Collin Ferrell gives his all in his performance by doing very little, and I also like Rachael Weiz, whose character narrates the story.
I found the Lobster to be a true art form as it narrated and interesting dystopian tale which symbolism are a good reflection on today's society, and overall the story is well played out.
