Well there was 1hr 15 mins of my life I won't get back. No idea what happened in the last 45 mins as I switched it off but I'm sure it couldn't be as bad as the first half
Average acting, rubbish script, repetitively wacky camera angles, annoying soundtrack and a bunch of characters you really couldn't give a toss about.
So 2 out of 2 oscar winning films that sounded promising about gay queens are complete tosh and that I have switched off halfway.
Smeone suggest me a film that is actually watchable right through!
Polar. Some may disagree.
My wife and I hated it too. It just seemed deliberately awkward.
By the same director as The Favourite - watch The Lobster.
Then you'll know what manure really smells like 😆
You've missed the (very artful) point if you thought the acting was bad - it's how he directs the actors.
Dez "You look like a Badger " 🙂
I'm sure it had some merit as a bit of a joke on the middle class film watcher (like me and my wife) but life is too short to spend 2 hrs watching the same joke repeated again and again and again
I liked it without being bowled over by it but I'm surprised it did such good box office, it's an idiosyncratic take on the period drama to be sure. Though I suppose you'd have bought a ticket by the time you found out. The 3 leads were terrific.

And there's always "Sacred Deer" if you get through Lobster with the will to live intact...

If you mean from this years Oscar winners you'll probably like Green Book.
Well, we liked it, so

not really.
I just thought I wasn’t clever enough to get why it was getting all the praise.
Green Book is MILES better, IMO.
I enjoyed it, but I didn't realise it was from the same stable as the lobster (watched, regretted much) and sacred deer (started, decided life's too short, stopped).
I'd watch a movie where Olivia Coleman just had a cup of tea and a biscuit though, so thats probably the difference for me.
I enjoyed the The Lobster. Definitely odd, but I enjoyed watching something a bit different, when a lot of new films just seem to be repeating an existing formula.
I certainly enjoy something "different". I don't enjoy good actors sounding like 12 year olds rehearsing for a school play though. It's just silly.
Preferred Sacred Deer to the Lobster, but it certainly took a while to get anywhere.
I couldn't really understand the 'point', I'm sure there was one, but it was either too high brow for me or didn't really exist at all. Maybe it's a bit of a troll for film snobs.
Still, Emma Stone gets the puppies out for a bit, I stayed for that and then gave up.

That's where I differ. She can do a strong or quirky supporting part in a mini series pretty well (night manager,les miserables) but I'm not convinced she can carry a movie - not that anyone could have rescued that film
Bit like Helen Bonham Carter really
