Darkly funny and really original

Rating: 7/10 (23 April 2018)

The Lobster is slyly funny and surprisingly dark - there were a few moments that left me reeling which I did not expect going in. It will probably be too "slow" for a few people but I think this is deliberate; the film uses repetition in a really interesting way to hit home the banality of the world.
It's also beautifully shot and manages to be a stunning looking film despite the images being largely static - it reminded me of The Shining for this reason.
