A childless couple (Noomi Rapace and Hilmir Snær Guðnason) in rural Iceland make an alarming discovery one day in their sheep barn. They soon face the consequences of defying the will of nature in this dark and atmospheric folktale, the striking debut feature from director Valdimar Jóhannsson. In Icelandic with English subtitles.
“A modern fable, a slice of atmospheric folk horror for today's audiences…at its core, there's a genuinely affecting story about parenthood and the burden of loss.” — Trace Sauveur, Austin Chronicle
“Johannsson has a way of imbuing everything—animate and inanimate, even an empty doorway—with a kind of living, breathing spirit.” — Michael O’Sullivan, Washington Post
“Lamb is visually striking and moody, a well-made curiosity that you'll ponder days after you see it and wonder what the hell it means and why it affected you so.” — Randy Myers, San Jose Mercury News
