Lamb2021

I can’t believe I was hooked to a story as bizarre as this. Most of the credit goes to the atmosphere set by the ambitious debut director Valdimar Jóhannsson and excellent performance by Noomi Rapace. I am all in for bizarre twisted stuffs that are done well. It’s an acquired taste. Lamb too is mostly done well and I get all the tropes of motherhood that was explored here but still it didn’t blow my mind like other pathbreaking twisted movies of 2021 “Annette” and “Titane”. Those were #MyShit certified films. Lamb couldn’t be #MyShit as a whole.  Nonetheless Lamb is mostly simple in terms of narrative and most importantly it’s original slow burn content. And yes I laughed too at few scenes (Seemed deliberately done that human lamb) which is in itself quite weird considering I was watching a mystery/Horror/Fantasy movie. I take this as “Mission accomplished” in making me experience all kinds of emotions and still keeping me hooked till the end.
