The Lobster

Where do I even begin here? Not once in my life have I sat through a movie like this, going in and coming out feeling so weird and uncomfortable. I'm uncertain of my standing on this, yet I give it 5 stars knowing all to well I have no idea what to rate it. The characters in this were so unique and all the little details really tie it together. The idea of people forming a connection because of their diabilities or health issues is just so abscract but so so clever. The only actor who is credited with a name is the main character, and his name is said how many times? Once, maybe? I mean I'm just in such a shock... Is Yorgos Lathinimos a genuis? I think so... Is he mentally sick? Perhaps? Is this a masterpiece? Of course! 10/10 but I'm not sure if I ever want to see it again but I'm probably about to buy it on Blu-ray just because I wanna have it? I don't even know anymore, I'm just struggling to properly describe what I want to say... Who knew this movie would feel about 3x the length, it started as this and slowly, painfully(?) became that... In conclusion, tommorow I'm seeing Bugonia and I wanted to dip into the waters of Yorgos a little to get a taste, and now I feel overwhelmed. But in a good way, of course. I'm super excited to see Bugonia tommorow and I think Yorgos is quickly approaching as a favorite filmaker, perhaps?
