Leans Traditional
Primary
The film critiques the oppressive nature of enforced conformity from both sides—enforced coupling and enforced solitude—without championing a specific political solution or ideology, thus balancing its critique of ideological extremes.

Secondary

The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film "The Lobster" is an original work with no prior source material, historical figures, or legacy characters. All characters were created specifically for this film, thus precluding any gender swaps.
The Lobster is an original film with no pre-existing source material, historical figures, or prior adaptations. Therefore, no characters had an established race before this film's creation, precluding any race swaps.
