The performances were great. (Emma Stone has impeccable comedic timing, even as a zombie.) But the whole thing just didn't cohere for me. The nudity wasn't shocking, and the sex scenes, while vigorous, also didn't strike me as all that interesting or transgressive. And the prostitute with a heart of gold thing seemed downright lazy.
I'm glad that Lanthimos is getting the attention he well deserves as a director, but I thought The Rival was much more effective. The Lobster even more so.
Also, the final act is a bit of a mess. Are we supposed to like Bella or not?
