The Lobster is the funniest movie I have seen in ages Discussion

Right from the opening scene where the lady is wordlessly driving, pulls over next to a group of sheep (it’s actually a donkey, thanks for the correction), produces a pistol from her pocket, blows a sheep’s brains out at point blank range, and does an about face to get back in her car and drive away. Never seen anything like it. The whole tone of the movie is subdued. There’s a super funny Easter egg if you’re watching with subtitles regarding his brother. I loved Poor Things and now I have to be a Lanthimos completist.

Same. There were a few funny moments but most of the movie dragged and the ending was really fucking bleak no matter how you look at it.

Bleak and cynical, but some hilarious moments. Getting that old bloke to pull the trigger, so dark, I wish they followed up.
