Living on a remote, mountainous landscape that looks to be frozen in time, the rural farmers barely exchange words or crack a smile. Stern faced and muscularly poised, the hardworking couple just go about their day, plowing their land, harvesting their crop and tending to their livestock of lambs, ewes and horses with the same serious yet joyless dedication. You can sniff a sense of loss in the atmosphere that penetrates this otherwise tranquil scenery of quietly sharp colors, icy skies, and intimidating soundscapes. There is Christmas music on the radio, but none of the customary holiday cheer in the air. And somewhere out there in the wild, an insidious brute is making its rounds around the couple\u2019s barn.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<section>\n<section>\n<p>It\u2019s on the heels of this silent misery that the duo\u2019s happiness finally arrives in the most <em>what-the-f**k-is-this<\/em> form imaginable, the WTF-ness of which a late-entering character also reacts to in one of the film\u2019s various moments of subtle deadpan comedy. A shocking sight for the viewer to receive and accept, it\u2019s a reveal that also presents an immense writing challenge for any critic attempting to do justice to the film\u2019s pacing through its secrets. While the adorably unnerving creature that blesses the household of Maria and Ingvar is very much the premise of \u201cLamb,\u201d co-writers J\u00f3hannsson and Sj\u00f3n (also a poet and an author) conceal her identity and expose her visage in such a studiously slow fashion that one thinks twice before describing her and possibly ruining the experience for the readers. In that regard, it\u2019s best to go completely cold into \u201cLamb,\u201d which increasingly becomes a mongrel of a folkloric psychodrama and chamber horror, with preoccupations and a mood that fall somewhere between Robert Eggers\u2019 \u201cThe Witch\u201d and Ari Aster\u2019s \u201cMidsommar\u201d even when the film can\u2019t sustain its raw appeal all the way through unlike these aforesaid titles. That said, continue reading on only if you aren\u2019t all too concerned about spoilers.<\/p>\n<p>Those who are still with me: meet Ada, a half lamb-half human sweetie-pie believably created with the help of some CGI puppetry as well as real animals and young actors. Maria and Ingvar welcome her into their modest home so warmly and casually that you wonder whether they are able to see what the rest of us do. They feed her, bathe her, and tuck her in like everything is extremely normal with this cuddly creature, supposedly a gift that nature has bestowed upon them. What throws their newfound contentment off is the arrival of Ingvar\u2019s brother P\u00e9tur (Bj\u00f6rn Hlynur Haraldsson), a sibling evidently close with Ingvar, and perhaps closer than he needs to be with his sister-in-law.<\/p>\n<p>The rivalrous dynamic J\u00f3hannsson establishes within the household is both fiendishly fun to follow, and one that wears thin fast with not much to expand on. The same could be said about the film\u2019s overarching concerns about parenthood, grief and mankind\u2019s greedy domination of nature to protect their im<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a>te and selfish interests by any means necessary. (Those who are extremely sensitive towards animal suffering and casualty should especially beware the company of these people who want to have their lamb and eat it too.) It\u2019s not so much that co-writers J\u00f3hannsson and Sj\u00f3n lack deep ideas around these themes. But \u201cLamb\u201d puts them all on an obscure backburner for far too long, prioritizing its skillful aesthetics and tone over a meaningful exploration of the anxieties at its heart.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<section>\n<section>\n<p>Still, a fierce sense of originality you won\u2019t be able to shake and look away from nearly makes up for the film\u2019s relative lack of depth. Seen through the spooky, foggy lens of cinematographer Eli Erenson that recalls the enigmatic style of B\u00e9la Tarr (it can\u2019t be a coincidence that Tarr is an executive producer here), the visual world of \u201cLamb\u201d is immersive and soulful, qualities matched by Rapace\u2019s expressive presence at every turn. While it\u2019s not a thoroughly satisfying stew of style and substance\u2014plus, it could\u2019ve used some sharper scares\u2014\u201cLamb\u201d nonetheless leaves a unique enough aftertaste for one to crave more of the same distinctive weirdness from J\u00f3hannsson in the future.<\/p>\n<p><em>Available in theaters on October 8.<\/em><em><\/em><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<section>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<figure>\n<div>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Tomris Laffly\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/static.rogerebert.com\/uploads\/user\/primary_image\/tomris-laffly\/featured_Tomris2y.jpg\" title=\"Tomris Laffly\"><\/img><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div><figcaption>\n<h5><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tomris_Laffly\"><\/span>Tomris Laffly<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<p>Tomris Laffly is a freelance film writer and critic based in New York.
