This will keep you on your hooves!

I've not watched much Icelandic cinema. So I can't tell you if this is typical. I can tell you it's good though. It's sparse and wintery as you might guess. It's also a bit dark and magical. Maria (Noomi Rapace) and Ingvar (Hilmir Snær Guõnason) live on a remote farm. It's quiet, idyllic. Lots of hard work and they're vastly outnumbered by animals. They seem lonely. Unhappy even. Something missing. Iceland looks incredible. Almost unreal and it's used to great effect. It's all beautifully shot, from the amazing mountain vistas to the barns housing the sheep they tend. They're lives are changed, seemingly for the better when a new lamb is born, a little different from the rest. It's clear that shes used to mask an earlier unseen loss and for this reason things are going to end badly. Now this newborn creature is quite literally fantastic. So much so, it could rip you right out of the otherwise believable narrative, but she's so adorable you just go with it. Things get a little more complicated when Ingvar's brother Pétur (Björn Hlyner Haraldsson) turns up, but that's really not the half of it. Calling this Lamb and having one with such an arresting role is misleading though, there's a lot more to unpack. Iceland is gorgeous. Lambs are very cute. Loneliness is deadly.

Let's Just Call This...Unique

This isn't going to be a film that everyone is going to be pleased with. So, if you are considering it, go into it with an open mind and understanding that it's not for everyone.Let me start by saying that I wouldn't consider this to be a "horror" film. It had suspense, weird and fantastical aspects but it just didn't cross over into horror for me. However, if you are a horror lightweight, the situation may cross the line into horror for you.The camera work and acting was great. The setting was beautiful, well suited due to it's isolation and it is so well shot that it created a lonely, longing atmosphere that had me investing in the growing happiness this couple found despite how weird it was. Let me just say that after seeing her in several movies I have found Noomi Rapace to be a rather skilled actress. She plays these darker rolls quite well so I was pleased with her performance.Some people have complained about the CGI but for the most part, I thought it was pretty good. Not perfect but definitely not awful.Overall, the story was, as I said, unique. There are a lot of questions left. So many that they could play around with the idea of a sequel if they wanted to. Leaving questions unanswered is what has me still thinking about it though.I say check it out. It was an experience.
