"THE LOBSTER is set in a futuristic Orwellian world in which single people are given a set deadline to find their other half or be transformed into an animal. 

An intelligent and original depiction by YORGOS LANTHIMOS, in his English language directorial debut, with a stellar cast headed by a great COLIN FARRELL, unusually ditching his bad boy looks for a more hopelessly single man's physique. 

It is also driven by a witty and often laugh out loud deadpan sense of humour. This approach strengthens the impact of the overall message which, due to its influences from politics and relationships in general, makes the film feel highly interactive and subjective from the audience point of view. 

THE LOBSTER represents an excellent and thought provoking level of balance between entertainment and arthouse cinema."
