About
You can stream The Lobster (2015) on Apple TV+ with a subscription, rent on Apple TV+, or buy on Apple TV+.
In a dystopian near future, single people, according to the laws of The City, are taken to The Hotel, where they are obliged to find a romantic partner in forty-five days or are transformed into animals and sent off into The Woods.
Singles face a brutal ultimatum: find a soulmate within forty-five days or undergo a surgical transformation into an animal of their choice. This deadpan satire turns the desperation of modern dating into a surreal, darkly comedic nightmare.
