Dogtooth was much better, but Dogtooth is also something that they should teach in film schools as a "perfect film." That's a high bar to set. I think The Lobster gets a 4.5/5
Also, it's on Amazon Prime for anyone (Chula) who has that. |
Just seen it today. Weird but I didn't find it funny at all. Funny how it had the classical guitar scene just like Dogtooth did. Use to be able to play that tune (recuerdos de la alhambra). Major props to Colin and Rachel for putting it all out there in roles that were far from flattering.
