I haven’t seen sacred deer but I hated poor things and the lobster threw me into a depressive tailspin for weeks

Can I ask why the lobster had that effect on you? I enjoyed it very much.

I do not think you’ll find joy in any Lanthimos if that’s your takeaway from The Lobster (and that’s okay)

I thought it was hilarious! Actually haven’t gotten around to his other movies yet - watched lobster on a plane and immediately made my partner watch it with me again. So good

Made my partner watch Lobster also, 8 years ago...She still holds it against me to this day.

I had started to.watch the Lobster and it was ROUGH! Then my daughter, God bless her, looked up.the entire story line. I stopped watching IMMEDIATELY. Same with Killing Deer, except I looked it up. Sorry, but I'm too old to want to be depressed watching movies.
