Movie Reviews - The Lobster
by Sarah Mason & Jake Essoe
On this episode of Justice & Doom NOW PLAYING reviews we talk THE LOBSTER! A film critically acclaimed by over a dozen festivals including Cannes where it won 3 Jury awards. This bizarre vision of a Dystopian society where single people are forced to find a mate within 45 days or be turned into an animal, lives up to the hype. Colin Farrell in a career best performance stars alongside Rachel Weisz, John C. Reilly, Lea Seydoux and an incredible supporting cast of vet actors. Director and Co-Writer, Yorgos Lanthimos, has been showered with awards and nominations the last few years including an Academy Award nod for Best Foreign Language Film for his film, DOGTOOTH.
It's a beautiful film, it's weird, and disturbing. We give it a very enthusiastic 9/10 on the Justice & Doom Meter. Listen and find out why!
