CGiii Comment

According to this...bisexuality and half-shoe sizes don't exit!

Call it what you will...quirky, awkward, surreal...but, hey, that's life. The world is your lobster.

Squares pegs don't fit into round hole...but, doesn't that depend on the size of the round hole? Yes...it is a comment on our beloved society...idiosyncrasies, faults, warts and all.

Cast your nets wider, make your holes bigger...and if you do, The Lobster will enthrall.

Olivia Coleman is hysterical. Rachel Weisz delivers an emotionless emotion. But, the surprise, Colin Farrell...out of his comfort zone and into credibility.

Yorgos Lanthimos is not for everyone...but, for those who cast their nets a little wider, an experience worth remembering.
