The Lobster: Buñuel for a post-Tinder world. Nerve-twingeingly funny, meticulously composed. Colin Farrell is In Bruges-good. #Cannes2015

Like so many of the best comedies THE LOBSTER is devastatingly sad. I'm just crazy about this movie. #Cannes15
Peter Bradshaw @PeterBradshaw1
Yorgos Lanthimos's The Lobster - a macabre and often hilarious black comedy which runs out of ideas - review later #Cannes #Cannes2015

Thought The Lobster was funny but probably more suited to being a short rather than a feature. Still total film critics 2015 type of film.

THE LOBSTER: Premise and first two thirds are deadpan absurdist excellence, then it meanders through a lesser third act. Still pretty swell.

Loved THE LOBSTER although it does trail off a bit in the second half. Still, some absurd, mordant humor that recalled SCHIZOPOLIS for me.

Yorgos Lanthimos' LOBSTER completes a zany trilogy about the flaws of organized society. Maybe it's time to move on. #Cannes2015

Enjoyed the wacky logic of Lanthimos' dystopian sensibilities under the guise of mannered drama. LOBSTER's messy but enjoyable. #Cannes2015

The Lobster is a dark comedy with a lot to say. Sadly looses steam in the second half. #Cannes2015
David Poland @DavidPoland
The Lobster is yet another #Cannes selection that is beautifully conceived and realized, but missing the clarity to be truly great.
David Poland @DavidPoland
The Lobster has a lot to say, but says less and less as it tries to say more and more.

At #Cannes2015, from Yorgos "Dogtooth" Lanthimos: #TheLobster. Colin Farrell & Rachel Weisz in a "Hunger Games" for deadpan minimalists.

THE LOBSTER: A potential revelation for critics and audiences...who have never seen a Marco Ferreri movie. #Cannes

The important lesson of THE LOBSTER is that single, coupled off, whatever, everyone's doomed
