"Lamb" is one of those movies that even after you watch you still try to take in and process it, call it what you want drama, or thriller it's one strange mixed film with love and realism. Set in rural Iceland on a farm a couple named Maria(Noomi Rapace) and Ingvar enjoy life only something is missing and that is they are childless something that is a place in their heart that is burning and dripping. So aside from the hard work of farming and feeding the place is surrounded with animals they have a dog and cat, yet lamb come into play a flock of beautiful sheep. Then things get strange and crazy when a calf is delivered and born as it is then raised as the couple's own and feels like a human baby. The film shows the strain and attachment of worry, love, and uncertainty. Only in the end the picture twist like a strange folk fairy tale. Overall "Lamb" may not be liked by everyone still it's worth a watch for it's different and strange feel as it leaves a viewer to think and process it's meaning and story of life and love.

When I hear critics say that "slow burn" I immediately am fearful of a boring movie. I wanted this one to be good tho. I was patient 30 min in, telling me lady it's just the setup. Then 60 min in. It never got any better. It was a "Slow Crawl" all the way till the end and I was left wondering what the purpose was of the movie. Not the script or story... the movie itself. What was the point of making this. I read online articles thinking I missed something like "Hereditary" and "Witch" but I didn't. The directors and actors were talking about it like it's a big 20 foot tall abstract painting in the museum that people just stand in front of for hours and it means something different to everybody. The director talked about "nature" messsages, Noomi about pain and happiness from letting go of her sheep-baby. Only thing it meant to me after 2+ hours was "what a waste of time standing in front of this pointless painting/movie for hours, and why did they waste months making it".

This movie started with promise. The build up was masterfully done with incredible visuals and minimal dialogue. However the build up went on for the entirety of the movie and when the sad unsettling finale comes around (if you can really call it a finale) it comes out of absolutely nowhere with no foreshadowing or reason. The end is a tragedy with absolutely no discernible message. Please do yourself a favor and just google the plot if your curious and save yourself 2 hours of build up with no satisfying payoff whatsoever. I would title this movie "The Inciting Incident: The Movie"

But that's it. Three people and a strange little human lamb child going about their day-to-day lives. That's literally it. I kept asking myself what's going on here? Is anything going to happen? Then once we get a little action the story ends. I didn't expected this film to be the most exciting movie of all time..but wow! That was insanely boring. All of the 9 &10 star reviews must be fake. This was the equivalent to visual melatonin. Definitely not a movie I'd recommend. 5 stars.
