Lamb is not a horror movie. Please ignore the marketing tacked to this movie and remove any presumption you having going in that this is a "horror" movie. It is not. It is a dark, eerie, sometimes self indulgent folktale about loss, infidelity and guilt. It's about what these things do to a once strong relationship and the people caught in the crossfire, told through metaphor and odd imagery. Did I love Lamb? Far from it, but I got exactly what I expected from an oddball, indie-produced movie distributed by A24. It's obtuse, artsy, laden with metaphor and indirect storytelling. It's puzzling and not very clear, asking you to piece things together yourself through your own interpretation to understand what the real meaning behind the movie is. If none of this is singing to you, give it a miss. But if you enjoy the usual A24 affair of watching something, pondering it for a few hours and then hitting up a Reddit thread to confirm/build on your own theories, then Lamb will fit the bill perfectly.
