Review of Lamb (2021) by Brent_Marchant — 09 Oct 2021
What a refreshing surprise! This unusual blend of mystery, horror, folk tale, and dark, offbeat comedy will easily tickle those whose funny bones lean toward the strange and macabre. When a childless Icelandic sheep herding farm couple finds a surprise in their stable, it sends them down a path strewn with happiness, tragedy, karma and more than a few surprises.
Writer-director Valdimar Johannsson's debut feature definitely won't appeal to everyone, but those who appreciate fresh, inventive material will love this immensely creative offering, told with subtle, tongue-in-cheek wit, gorgeous cinematography and a style that relies more on showing than telling.
Imagine a contemporary story told in the style of a Grimms fairy tale, and you've got a pretty good idea what's in store in this stylish, creepy, hilarious and darkly charming release.
