Brooklyn Lobster is the kind of smart, realistic indie family drama the movies should give us more often.
Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune
Rotten
The crustaceans' unhappy destinies are more compelling than the colorless lives of their captors.
Connie Ogle, Miami Herald

The dramatic engine may be real estate and bank loans, but the heart of the movie is family and character and the film provides plenty of both.
John Anderson, Newsday
Rotten
Well-meant, but only adequately realized, the movie is simply undersized.
Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger
