Review of Lamb (2015) by Kong L — 05 Apr 2016
A 47 year old man meets an 11 year old girl at a parking lot. She seems to have a quite hard life. So does he. They become friends, something that naturally look weird and it's hard to look at other solutions that he controls her, using his adult mind while she is the innocent one. They take a trip together in all secrecy, and this is bound to be a controversial act.
Unpleasant at times with a plot like this of course, but not too often and not too intense. it does look like a friendship, while the relationship part is kept as inner feelings. How real those feelings are is discussable. Super acting by the leads and it looks superb on screen. Great nature shots with variations in scenery. Often bleak, sometimes warmer.
A hard film to watch and it's up for many interpretations. What is he trying to accomplish or make up for? Is she happier and how much does it damage her? Unsettling, brave and challenging film worth a go if you are up for the debate.
6.5 out of 10 parking lots.
