6/10

A unique experience that is hard to even describe

What did I just watch? These were the first words running through my mind at the conclusion of 'Lamb'. This was not the film I expected by any measure. To be fair I don't think many who go in blind are going to be expecting what they get. A bizarre experience to say the least.

The film is set in a beautiful location. It's a pleasure to look at. You're going to see the horror tag attached to this movie, and it is in a odd sort of way I suppose, but mostly this is a drama with a twist. If you go in expecting a horror you're likely going to come away disappointed.

Whether this story will connect with you or not is anyone's guess. There are people who are going to hate every second of it, and there are people who will love it. I fell somewhere in the middle personally. It's unapologetically different though and I respect that a lot. 6/10.
