The Lobster (2015)

Frank O. Pinion

Easily the best film of 2015, a true masterpiece. I wonder if the people who say things like, "one of the worst films I've ever seen", are the same people who complain about too many Hollywood remakes and sequels. I would guess there's some overlap.

I watched this last night and really enjoyed the absolute absurdity of it. Colin Farrell was brilliant in it. He delivered his lines like Brendan Grace's Fr Fintan Stack in Father Ted which I really enjoyed and thought was perfect for the role. I think the move away from the Hotel was a little jarring as the Hotel was such an amazing backdrop and vehicle for the story. I had to rewind it a couple of times because I thought I had missed something. I think I will have to watch it again to appreciate it fully. The cast were fantastic if a little underused. I wish more films like this were made.

Fully agree, its a great film, but it certainly has some rough edges.

Watched this last night... mad film. Didn't know what to make of it - some genuinely hilarious laugh-out-loud moments the whole way through... but all three of us were somewhat bored towards the end and wondering how long was left.

Just a bit.... confused by it all. Maybe that was the point.
