Welcome to the Film Pie! Brisbane based film critic Matt Toomey has reviewed thousands of movies since 1996. See what's out now, or browse the review archive.

The Lobster (out Oct 22) is a wonderfully messed up comedy about a guy who has to fall in love within 45 days or else he'll be turned into the animal of his choosing. Set in a dystopian future, the film features ferociously dark humour but runs out of ideas in the later stages. Actors must have worked hard to keep a straight face. Grade: B+.
