THE LOBSTER Madfilm Meetup ($6)
Join us on Tuesday, May 31 at Sundance Cinemas for the 6:55pm screening THE LOBSTER, the latest film from director Yorgos Lanthimos (DOGTOOTH), starring Colin Farrell and Rachel Weisz.
This will be our first Madfilm Meetup to take advantage of the new $6 admission price on Tuesdays at Sundance Cinemas.
Join Madison Film Forum contributors and other film fans to discuss the film in an informal gathering at The Great Dane Pub, Hilldale, after the screening.
Synopsis: “In a dystopian society, single people must find a mate within 45 days or be transformed into an animal of their choice.”
With the Madfilm Meetups, the Madison Film Forum (madfilm.org) provides opportunities to attend great films and meet people doing the same. We don’t sponsor these screenings, we just support them by showing up.
THE LOBSTER currently has a Tomatometer Rating of 91% at Rotten Tomatoes. You can find a collection of reviews at our Flipboard Magazine.

Review highlights include:
“People say this kind of thing all the time – I’m pretty sure I have a time or two – but THE LOBSTER is unlike any movie you’ve ever seen.” Bill Goodykoontz, Arizona Republic
“THE LOBSTER is a droll piece of work lashed with grim humor. For every moment that makes you laugh, there may be another that leaves you with your mouth hanging open.” Stephanie Zacharek, Time Magazine
“The existential rabbit-hole plot of THE LOBSTER couldn’t be more bonkers. The premise shouldn’t work at all, but it does…and beautifully.” Chris Nashawaty, Entertainment Weekly
“Yorgos Lanthimos’ first English-language feature is a wickedly funny, unexpectedly moving satire of couple-fixated society.” Guy Lodge, Variety
