"is there a bisexual option available?" bitch! me too! the fuck!!!!!
There's a scene where Colin Farrell kicks a little girl and for some reason it's the funniest thing I've seen all year.
the part where they’re all dancing in the forest and there’s that one maid just vogueing really hard fuels me
this was fun but why did the score sound like a sad, dramatic version of the wii theme music?
A perfect romcom. My favorite romcom! A lovely satire of romantic absolutism and fate. We tell ourselves lies about the rules and reasons for love and create formulas to lead us towards a fate we’ve been sold as purpose– and when we’re scared of these rules we reject them completely, training ourselves to live outside the parameters we’ve come to find suffocating. So what do you do when you decide to love again? How do you embrace the love you want when it clashes with the love you’ve learned?

i want to be turned into a giant sea turtle so i can watch this movie for 150 years.
ALSO: The Lobster Colin Farrell is *so good* that he makes True Detective Colin Farrell look like Winter's Tale Colin Farrell.
not sure i can remember a director so gracefully moving away from his native language (maybe Park Chan-wook with Stoker, but other, less recent examples elude me). in many respects, this feels like the *most* Lanthimos movie to date, a touch broader than his usual stuff but no less insightful or resonant for it. methinks it's less a study of singledom vs. monogamous coupling than it is an uncertain portrait of the mysterious hows & whys of what brings people together, the cost of it falling apart, and the danger of trying to force the issue. but return visits and more time to chew are a must.
