Lamb - Reviews

...a gloomy, provocative tone poem of life, death, fog and sheep.

...the visual world of “Lamb” is immersive and soulful, qualities matched by Rapace’s expressive presence at every turn.

Noomi Rapace outstanding in wild horror-comedy of Icelandic loneliness.

I laughed out loud at his audacity, and had nightmares later.

...the movie's stark Nordic mood and obscure mystery are as coolly immersive as nearly anything on screen this year...

...is impossible to categorise, mashing up folk horror, Icelandic relationship drama and black comedy into something admirably different.

At its core, there’s a genuinely affecting story about parenthood and the burden of loss.

A horror movie with animalistic elements that's also a very human drama, this Icelandic tale is unafraid to embrace its bold premise.

...en medrivende fortælling, der formår både at være en isnende thriller, alternativ monsterfilm og væsentlig kritik af, hvordan naturen sønderslides af menneskelig opportunisme.

Rapace veksler perfekt mellem at være lattermild, faretruende og omsorgsfuld i en kompromisløs præstation...

...man skal ikke lægge sig ud med naturen og tro, at man kan bestemme over den. Slet ikke i Island. Naturen er brutal.

...ett mörkt familjedrama med en unik tvist.

Noomi Rapace är rörande som den – ska det visa sig – sörjande modern som gör vad som helst för att saker ska bli som förr.
