a cult following around the world, makes a practically effortless transition to the big leagues with his latest, the hilarious and haunting surreal parable The Lobster.
-Leslie Felperin, The Hollywood Reporter
The Lobster is elegant and eccentric in Lanthimos’s familiar style

Yorgos Lanthimos' first English-language feature is a wickedly funny, unexpectedly moving satire of couple-fixated society.

Couronné à Cannes d'un Prix du jury mérité, "The Lobster" est de loin le meilleur film de Yorgos Lanthimos.
-Transfuge
Complètement loufoque et original, cette fable trouvera une résonance en chaque spectateur.
-Elle
Surréaliste, déroutant, drôle, noir, cruel, romantique. Une expérience de cinéma.
