Review of The Lobster (2015) by Bill K — 06 Jul 2016

There's a place in society - and in the box office - for "art for art's sake." The Lobster sits squarely in that place. There was nothing really wrong with this movie but it simply wasn't particularly entertaining.

I watched Bunuel movies to see where movies could go but most of the time not enjoying the ride that much. Same with Ibsen. Great theater but existential dread is a burden to sit through. So, congratulations Yorgos, you made a fine movie.

So beautiful, so what.
