Sheila E. One of my favorites of all time. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/22/25 Full Review Design B Why, oh, why did I believe the paid reviews and advertising. I should have trusted my first instinct and quietly walked away without ever touching this absolute garbage. The last scene is what every normal human being thought of doing to themselves after watching it. To those of you, innocent curious minds, who haven't watched it yet - do not! Save yourselves, run! Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/20/25 Full Review Audience Member Cheap tricks like killing a dog to make you feel anything. Do not recommend. The premise that a good hunter can live forever in that hotel and kill animals of others is just stupid and ruins the minimal point the movie tried to make. No real good point to the movie and it is definitely not a dark comedy. You watch life without emotions, and good actors are wasted because they have stoic faces and voices and play stiffly due to the producer's vision. Plenty of clichés. No matter how hard the movie tries to depict real life, it is exaggerated and devoted to feelings; the absurdity and lawlessness of the situations do not make sense, nor make you question anything. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/14/25 Full Review Marina D Honestly not even sure what I just watched. There was no message behind the movie, no point to it, nothing to enjoy about it, nothing to cry about, nothing. It was both dull and disturbing, which is basically the worst combination for a movie to be. A disturbing movie is fine as long as it’s not completely dull, since if disturbance is accompanied by any other emotion it’s at least something you can feel. Dullness could hardly be called an emotion at all, and that’s what this movie evokes. Also, I didn’t realize the amount of animal cruelty there would be in this movie. Obviously it’s not real but, it was certainly more than expected and I almost wish there had been a warning about it at the beginning or something. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/26/25 Full Review Riquelmy W The Lobster, de Yorgos Lanthimos, é uma experiência única: ao mesmo tempo encantadora, desconfortável e reflexiva. A direção é marcante, com uma câmera quase sempre estática que reforça o tom frio e clínico do universo distópico apresentado. As narrações, quase literárias, criam uma sensação de imersão quase íntima, contrastando com o comportamento contido e vazio dos personagens. O maior trunfo do filme é seu conceito absurdo — um mundo onde você tem 45 dias para arranjar um parceiro ou vira um animal — tratado com naturalidade e sem explicações desnecessárias. Essa abordagem torna o universo crível e perturbador, mostrando a adaptação das pessoas a esse sistema bizarro. A ambientação, especialmente no hotel, é uma metáfora perfeita para a marginalização social e a busca desesperada por aceitação dentro de padrões rígidos. O filme entrega uma crítica afiada à pressão social por relacionamentos, expondo as relações vazias e tóxicas geradas por essa imposição. The Lobster não é pra todo mundo, mas é daqueles filmes que grudam na cabeça e provocam reflexões profundas sobre amor, liberdade e conformismo. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/19/25 Full Review Dejah S Maybe I just wasn't in the right mood for it when I watched it, and maybe one day I'll try again. I love a sow burn but, jeez.
