  1. That's a really good point.

  2. Seems like the key to this kind of storytelling is convincing us that the characters are real people, since we take our cues about what's going on from them. (The movie can use slow zooms as much as it wants, but that's never going to be as convincing as the calm acceptance of the characters.) The first half of The Lobster works for me because I can believe in the reality of David, but the second half of the movie gets so weird that I stopped believing in him as a three-dimensional character and then stopped caring about what was happening to him. I guess the second half makes sense in the context of the film, because it's just changing the rules that David is living by. The rules aren't really more or less weird than before, just different. But for me the idea that he could go from one to the other just didn't feel real.
