I think I’m siding with Wikipedia on this one that this is a psychological/supernatural drama, rather than a thrilling horror movie just because its studio is A24. Unless the director and writers have said its horror-like, critics (and possibly producers telling the critics) have to STOP with this misleading/contradictory information because imo, its kind of insulting expecting to see one thing, pay your money, and then you’ve wasted time seeing something completely different that doesnt hold your attention. If critics said it was a thrilling drama, thats one thing but to say “horror”/“chilling”?? I don’t know…
The moment Swell started giggling and said fuck you guys-Is maybe my favorite moment by her yet oh and last vid when she was a giggling slasher killers.
a movie about grief and isolation resulting in folie à deux with a tragic ending where, say, the audience sees a child the entire time up until the lamb dies because they are not feeding or raising it the way a lamb would need to be and they feel as if they’ve lost their daughter all over again, and it’s not until the lamb is dead that the truth of it being a lamb is revealed…….sounds so much more interesting than whatever this is
I thought that was what this movie would be about and I'm actually more delighted it wasn't that predictable, I was worried it was gonna be the classic the mother lost a baby and now she's going crazy because boo-hoo woman no baby and husband no understand woman feelings. It just feels like a light hearted movie about complicated adults raising their adopted autistic child and trying to shield her from the fact she's different from other people.
the best version would be a mix of what you wrote and what was presented; we could have had two simultaneous films; one reality where she treats her like a sheep, the other, her child. sigh
Fuck, yeah. That's what I was expecting. But no, it's a literal faun spawned by another faun who wants to reclaim it and the grief angle is not explored as much as it should have been.

In defense of the psychotic sheep man in this movie that I’m never going to watch, I honestly feel like killing Maria’s husband who did nothing wrong is a better revenge against Maria for killing the mother of his daughter in cold blood than just killing her would be.
omg, unpopular opinion, but this is now my new comfort film. literally, nothing happens in this movie except a super freaking adorable lamb character being adorable. I also thought it was hilarious how they just see a half-human/lamb hybrid and are like "well, i guess we'll just live with this thing now." Like no questions asked, no "did you just knock up the sheep?", nothing, just silence and acceptance.
I have only one question: Did he have human balls or lamb balls. Because lamb balls are freakin huge. That would have definitely added a visual component that would have burst you into laughter without any holding back.
@Mickey Holmes I love that Daniel just seem to go for whatever weird shit he wants, imagine that level of success where you don't have to worry about your professional reputation
The reason why she reacted to the “does Ada know you killed her mother” was because he says that as blackmail. He’s trying to get her to have sex with him but she refuses saying that she’s married and then he immediately says that line insinuating that if she didn’t have sex with him he would tell Ada what she did. So her reaction makes a lot of sense
Agreed. Maria killed his mate (sheep wife) and took his child. So sheepman killed her mate (human husband) and took back the child. I think it was him avenging what he perceived as wrongs committed against his family.
Also for why not Maria by the graves may have been “sacred soil” fantasy logic. I also think they meant to imply not that her uncle loved her but that she used mind control on him, but both could have been more clearly executed.
I'm just...baffled at the concept of sheep man having sex with a real sheep. And being enough of a sheep to impregnate it...and that makes me think...is he human enough... to conceive a human child if he has sex with a human woman? Cus if so...Maria finding her husband's body... but later goes home to find sheep man and Ada sleeping on couch... and Maria is like oh...this is my husband. Im not alone. This is fine. And cut to future where Maria is giving birth herself to sheep/human. And they're a family now... I feel like that would've played on the isolation aspect, the feeling of hopelessness and finding Comfort in things that are not normal... idk I'm imagining this and thinking THAT would've been disturbing, and genuinely like interesting. I feel they missed the ball, like Amanda says.
yeah if the movie went for a bizarre reverse beauty and the beast type thing it would be a lot more interesting and probably play more into the fable idea. That version could easily be read as a cautionary tale of pursuing unhealthy coping mechanisms for grief and being so isolated you become something "else." The movie as is is just "if a couple stole a sheep minotaur's child, would that be fucked up or what?"
That would be truly disturbing because it would show have deranged the parents came to be when it started with taking sheep ada. Play up the element that humans can be very fucking insane on their own
You know what’s scary? The scene in Babe when Babe learns that the dogs bite sheep, the music and the lighting is terrifying. They should’ve done that.
Babe got deep depression when he found out humans raise pigs to eat them. I was surprised the movie never touched that, especially because the family constantly eats mutton throughout the movie.
My husband and I watched this movie and we had to do some research on this. According to....things, Sheep-Man impregnated Sheep-Mom in the beginning part when those random horses were freaking out. Also, supposedly, this movie was supposed to be about nature taking back from humans or something? I didn't get that from the movie. I was also expecting the "twist" to be something more like Ingvar fucked the sheep or the lamb is a real lamb and they are both hallucinating that this is their kid (who was supposedly stillborn?). Once again, the marketing people saw a completely different film....a better film...and tried to get all of us to see that one.
Not fun fact! You mentioned naming kids after already dead kids being messed up and possibly messing up kids mentally. The practice was really common back in the day. Doesn't mean it was not traumatic though. That was actually done to Vincent Van Gogh. He was named after his mother's stillbirth who was born and died on the same day he was eventually born on a year later. He was aware of this and is known to have visited the grave. Same name and birthday only off by a year. This was probably one of many reasons his mental health was the way it was. (Then there was a third Vincent Van Gogh who was his nephew.)
There is absolutely no indication that having been named after a deceased relative had any part in his mental decline. Van Gough was infamously mentally ill, whilst *numerous* people had been named after deceased relatives. If this naming practice itself resulted in mental illness, an overwhelming portion of the entire population would suffer from mental illness. It's a purely cultural practice, and insisting that there is any innate trauma or pathology to it is not only ridiculous, but shows a lack of understanding (and sympathy) for legitimate mental health conditions.
@@Jhfisibejoso8pkabrvo2is8 I wish you would have read what I said before getting upset and making up stuff about me. I talked about naming your child after a child of yours that already died. Not after dead relatives as a whole. Those are two very different things. A lot of people are named after dead relatives. My brother is. But there is a difference between doing that and naming them after their own sibling who died. Especially as a baby. I also said this was probably one of many reasons he had mental health issues. Keywords: "probably". Because a person can easily make the inference that being named after your dead sibling would mess with your head. But again as I said before it was likely one of many reasons he had poor mental health. You also have no basis to make a comment on my knowledge of mental health seeing as you couldn't even properly read and understand my first comment.
My biggest aunt was named the same way and I asked how she feels about this and she said "pretty normal, I woudnt expect them to come up with a new name." In my country naming a kid after the died one means that they dont have to find a new name and thats about it.
finally another bi who gets distracted by women’s arms. i almost outed myself at my cousin’s wedding cause a guest was a normal attractive woman except she had super buff arms and she was wearing a strapless dress and i could NOT stop staring. i got to hold a door open for her and it gave me butterflies
That's weird, isn't it? If you were a man you would be crucified here... I mean, everyone has it's preferences but aren't we taught to combat our natural instincts for the sake of the civilized society?.. I am truly terrified imagining that so many people admit predatory staring at others and shamelessly glorifying it... Sorry, just my thoughts.
@@Guremien if a man recalled being awestruck by a woman’s buff arms and described it as giving him butterflies, i would think it was equally cute lmao. innocent admiration is way different than gross objectification.
This is going to get lost in the comments but I'm 95% sure the scene of Petur taking Ada out into the fields with a gun was a stress dream that Maria was having and not something that literally happened
I think it was a manifestation of what she knew was coming: she was going to lose Ada. She knew she wouldn’t have Ada forever and that eventually she’d leave.
6:06 - I'm p sure Salvadore Dali was named after his older brother who died before the Dali we know was born, and he was told that he WAS that brothers reincarnation. so yeah, it super can mess with someones head lol
If the sheep man really considered sheep mom as his "wife", then he would have had the pain of knowing what its like to have a spouse brutally murdered. He may have killed Ingvar to have Maria feel that pain; I would rather die than live to see my wife killed, its a much worse fate.
WAIT alternate universe where the sheep man kills EVERYONE but ingvar and then there's a post credits scene with them both in the house living a happy little gay domestic life with their fucked up child
It really depends how you present yourself. If you are friendly for quite some time, it's very likely. My mom and i were shopping, she meets a friend, the friend has a 4 year old girl. It took me just smiling and playing with her for her to immediately take my hand and go home, my home in that case because she got my old bike as a present. But then she did feel safe because then her mother was near her. But I do think that kids still have one or two gut feeling moments. I for sure did.
Not to mention… she’s half-sheep. Lambs are docile. I too found this movie pointless and badly executed, but most of the questions and criticisms in this video felt too “American” for lack of a better word - they just felt like “Oh this doesn’t feel like a Hollywood movie where bad guys are punished and good guys win” 🥶 It was this very trusting nature of Ada that made her uncle not shoot her too
Ok, I watched this with my partner, and when the sheep man (we named him Shaun) showed up we started scream laughing. And, holy shit, when Maria starts looking at the camera, my partner literally shouted "Yup that's me-", and I was this close to pissing myself. Holy shit, this movie was amazing, 10/10 would watch again just to point and laugh.
My take: Sheepman took out Ingvar for an equivalent punishment. She took out Elizabeth, so he took out Ingvar. Sheepman Justice with a sacrifice. Otta follows anyone because she’s a fucking lamb. “Everywhere that Mary went the lamb was sure to go”
I'm actually really glad to hear that they used 10 children for the role of Ada! Less pressure on them and all that. I hope it was more fun for them than work that way.
I know it’s super obvious, but why wasn’t the twist that the sheep mom gave birth to a lamb that couldn’t use its legs, and because the parents are losing their minds, they decide to attach the top of the lamb to the corpse of their daughter, and, like, for some reason that gives the lamb complete motor function. We wouldn’t figure this out until later in the film, of course, but I just feel like that would be more objectively “horrifying”.
Not sure if this was what you meant but I'm really picturing a reverse centaur situation where it's comedic the whole movie, the kid only makes goat noises and she loves climbing things but you only see her from the hips down the whole time. And then at the very end they pan up, the top half of the child is a lamb, everything is gone to shit. Movie ends
One thing I loved about Lamb is the way they filmed the animals in the first third of the movie: like (human) protagonists. It made me realize that the way animals are filmed in films is incredibly dull. I've never be more invested in a sheep's inner emotions before.
28:53 I assume they had 10 different children, because children aren't allowed to act for many hours a day, especially when they are that young. So filming would have taken alot longer, if they chose fewer kids to portrait her. For example here in Germany kids between the ages of 3 to 6 can be on set for 3 hours a day and of those shoot for 2.
That’s the joke! When the guy says “Does Ada know you killed her mother?” He means it literally. The family thinks the half human/sheep hybrid is a sign from god and that it couldn’t be anyone but Ada because they just lost their child. But in this universe, half sheep/human hybrids are apparently a thing and they innocently killed someone else’s family 😂😂😂 Sounds like a Welsh fairytale
If you ever need an Icelandic local to show you around, holler at me! My mom also knits beautiful sweaters that I don't know if you could ever use in LA but you would look hella cute while slow cooking yourself!
So happy you did a review of this. I kept getting ads for it and wondering what the fuck was going on. I really don't do horror but I also wasn't 100% sure this was actually a horror movie and not a parody. So i'm happy to sit down and have someone else tell me what happened.
If you haven’t already, I’d recommend looking up the Too Scary, Didn’t Watch Podcast. They do a different scary movie each week, going scene by scene, plus trivia. The three ladies are just adorable :)
I watched this movie in theatres with 4 of my friends. We were the only people in the theatre and there was only 1 theatre in my city showing it. We added commentary throughout so it was super fun lol. We started hating the lamb and wanting to burn it with fire and by the end we were almost in tears wanting the lamb to be safe
Saw this a few days ago and was all excited for it since it was advertised as a horror movie and I'm a total horror fanatic... but it ended up being sooooooo slow. It was definitely weird, but it could've been weirder and I was so bored the entire time lmfao. However I did find the lamb baby cute after awhile--I grew a little attached:')
Honestly, the lamb-girl in her little jacket with the flower crown is adorable. If I came across a character like that in DnD or a video game, I would definitely be like "This is my child now, and anyone who tries to hurt her is dead meat." So maybe I see where Maria was coming from. Lol
I read a couple of reviews before watching it, and they all talked about how the reveal of the lambs body is “terrifying”. They also talked about how menacing the sheep were. Wtf. There’s no big reveal. She looks exactly like you’s expect her to look. She’s just a cutie. A little lamb girl. Not one reviewer mentioned it’s not at all horror movie. It’s just a sad modern folktale. How the hell did those reviewers see the same movie that we did?
Lots of farmers have workers dogs and they think naming the dog is going to turn it into a pet and it has a job, it’s not a pet. They don’t even pet the dogs.
I'm not sure if this is based on Fae or what. But the horror you can do with them and the related creatures sounds like it was wasted. This is like stealing a Changling and I want to see the magical ramifications of pissing off ancient magical entities. Maybe more of The Hole in the Ground vibes?
Maria works on a farm. Lots of heavy lifting. 💪 Also in regards to "Charlie", while many of us consider our pets literal family, for others, especially farmers, dogs are just another animal on the farm. They there for a purpose, not love.
Amanda, while I didn't laugh during this movie, I was also really bored! I was on board with a lamb human hybrid but I don't think it went far enough with its premise. I feel like it could have been weirder, even with the fable idea, fables have like a moral or something. I just don't know why or what it was going for other than the lamb human hybrid.
From what I've read, the whole thing is meant to be symbolic of a kind of natural justice: if humans take from Nature and exploit it for their own self-centred reasons, Nature (which is not intrinsically evil but does demand justice/balance) will exact a price/revenge. Maria is apparently finally freed at the end by the price for her actions having been paid - you are meant to have a sense that she always knew Ada was not really hers and would not be with her for long. She was grieving - then desperately holding onto a flawed coping mechanism in the lamb-child - finally she accepts and can return to "real" ... life? Yes, I'm as confused as you are.
@@Gloomdrake Isn't it vexing? If I'm given a puzzle to dismantle, I least want to be given enough in the original material to be able to do that myself :-/
Parents having their newborn sleep in the same room as them is pretty normal, so you can monitor them a bit better. What an absolutely bonkers film. Sheep man! What!
This movie was so heartbreaking and beautifully shot I actually paused to take photos of certain scenes. I absolutely loved this film and was quite moved by it
I’m not sure that it would be attempted murder, because that usually (at least under US common law) requires some concrete action or attempt. Pointing a gun at a child could be a host of other crimes, such as assault with a deadly weapon (altho based on her lack of reaction it’s not clear that she was placed in immediate apprehension of physical harm), criminal negligence (depending on if he is found to have a duty of care towards Ada), or child endangerment, but probably not attempted murder.
My husband and I burst out laughing as soon as the credits rolled! We were in total awe of how ridiculous this movie ended up being and stayed behind just to rant about it. 😂😂
I burst out laughing as soon as the sheep/man appeared and got an elbow from my wife for the trouble. Then she started laughing. Though the scenery does make want to go back to Iceland.
My mom was named after her sister that passed. High child death mortality in Mexico in the 50’s for many reasons. That sister was my grandpa’s favorite child and that’s how we know my mom was the favorite and us as his grandchildren were also the favorite. It’s not weird to us, just a sad family story about my grandpa trying to keep her memory alive. Btw I’m also named after my mom.
I never saw the trailer and just assumed it would be a cute stuart little art romp and I found the movie so emotionally resonating I was sobbing crying at the end.
Unimportant details? Those are literally the only details that matter at all! And it will now live in my head and randomly pop up during insomnia for all time now. Ugh! EDIT: The sheep man, sheep mom, sheep daughter dynamic, obviously!
The trailer reminds me of my favorite sheep based horror movie Black Sheep (2006). Set in New Zealand, about genetically engineered sheep. It's *chef's kiss*.
Amanda I found this comment on a video explaining the ending. I think it makes more sense if you read this. It is an allegory on regret and Karma. Peter is the true father of the original “Ada”, the human child that they previously had that died before the film began (they never stated how she died). Peter and Maria had an affair (which is why him coming on to her multiple times was not a surprise). What the scene of Peter taking the goat child “Ada” adds is immense. It represents his trepidation and resentment upon learning of the repercussions of his affair with Maria; namely, he didn’t want the child. But, ultimately, like he did with the goat Ada, he grew to love her and became her father figure. Which is why he consistently visited the farm. The ending of the movie is fantastic in my opinion. It shows her surrounded by nothing but grief. Losing everything she held dear. Left with nothing: the consequences of her infidelity and choices. They even showed how she could not run from her past as she tried to bury the goat mon that she killed, refusing to acknowledge the true origin of Ada; just as she tried to run from the truth that the original Ada wasn’t her husbands, but a love child of her affair with the brother. The movie did all this on such a subtle and subverted way. Very well done. I recommend watching it again through this lens. It will make a lot more sense.
Maria killed the Sheep man’s spouse and stole his daughter, so he did the same to Maria… and killed Charlie. Still a ridiculous sounding movie though. 10/10 will watch.
As someone who desperately wants to go to Iceland and has since I was like 12, (and lowkey hyperfixates on Icelandic culture) they just leave their doors open/unlocked, like all the time. Especially in the countryside!!!!!!!
I feel like this was more of a family drama about raising an adopted non-verbal child rather than a horror movie. My friend has this theory this is just a world where fairies exist (in the beginning they are watching a tv program about folklore). In folklore sometimes fairies will just impregnate people, and if you have their baby you must raise them as your own. They're like deadbeats who come back when you're 11 and expect custody. I think Ingvar gets killed just because it's ironic Maria killed Ada's biomom and Ingvar get's killed by her biodad. I don't think it has any deep meaning other than what's on the label.
Having 10 kids play Ada would allow production to maintain a full shooting schedule. Kids can only work on set for so long before their day is done due to child labor laws but since Ada doesn’t have a human face we need to keep track of they just swap out the body and keep rolling. Smart on their end 👍🏼
I love this movie. It's a very slow burn. You wanted to be horrified--I get that, but the over riding mood for me was the sadness and loneliness that's beside of the ultimate horror. I guess if there was a takeaway message here, it was how human beings use animals for our own ends--our own needs, wishes, desires and in the end in this story there's a reason for the comeuppance that's hinted at but never fully explained. The film tantalizingly lets the viewer fill in the blanks, and I've absolutely spent some time thinking about this film. It's really stayed with me. Love it. For me it's a keeper.
A24 has a problem marketing its’ horror movies. See it comes at night. It’s no wonder these tiktok kids go see it thinking it’ll be a revelation when in actuality it’s more a think piece.
That's how I feel. I figured it would be more thought provoking than scary as A24 is good at those types of films, and the comment section here shows everyone really wanted something way less subtle.
@@wordpainter1 All the comments saying they thought it would be a sheep going on a killing rampage or something… Have they watched an A24 movie? There’s a couple campy movies in there but that’s not where my mind immediately goes to.
I just started getting suggestions for this channel, and I am fascinated. I feel like I’m watching a producer, director, actor, writer, craft services, and an editor pretending to be one person making a video in their bedroom. Even the items in the background look like they were chosen by committee.
I could see how people would find a couple raising a half lamb human child disturbing, personally I find it cute and wholesome. Like “found family” type vibe
I saw this movie on the connecting flight from Reykjavik back home, agree it was very cozy looking. And pretty neat to look outside and see the same landscape in the movie
i will say i have learned that rotten tomatoes, at least to me, means nothing, movies with high critic scores and low audience scores can go either way and vice versa, like low rotten tomatoes scores make me want to see a movie but so do high ones lol like it all means jack all
Abrupt endings like that in horror do tend to feel hilarious to me, and that sounds like a real kicker! For some reason this reminds me of Crowley’s ‘Household Gods,’ which is sort of a shitty little play adaptation of Leda and the Swan. I do kind of want to watch it more now just bc it’s set in Iceland, which has been my dream vacation since I was 11 OH and if you want to see some *nice* lady-arms-lady muscles-(and good character-driven horror) have you watched Sweet Home yet?? When the firefighter has to climb up into the vents…oh my god. The actress is a boxer and oh my GOD
i thought this was going to be more like the short horror film "the doll maker" that's here on youtube it is also driven by grief and loss of a child, but there's an unexpected plot twist. and a level of feeling that this movie lacks and it's literally 9minutes long

I wasn't going to see this movie because I hate crying and in movies with animals an animal always dies. I'm glad that I have been proven right and that I read the comments. No sarcasm, I am really glad.
~when you feel worse for the sheep mama than the human you know it was good writing~
I think I’m siding with Wikipedia on this one that this is a psychological/supernatural drama, rather than a thrilling horror movie just because its studio is A24. Unless the director and writers have said its horror-like, critics (and possibly producers telling the critics) have to STOP with this misleading/contradictory information because imo, its kind of insulting expecting to see one thing, pay your money, and then you’ve wasted time seeing something completely different that doesnt hold your attention. If critics said it was a thrilling drama, thats one thing but to say “horror”/“chilling”?? I don’t know…
I love Amanda's insistence that the dog deserved better.
The moment Swell started giggling and said fuck you guys-Is maybe my favorite moment by her yet oh and last vid when she was a giggling slasher killers.
His name is Charlie, alright?
That dog really did deserve better, he was so sweet in the movie.
I literally screamed when I saw him lying dead. He was so so sweet.
just put half a human body on that dog and she'll laugh at it even if it's about to get killed.
a movie about grief and isolation resulting in folie à deux with a tragic ending where, say, the audience sees a child the entire time up until the lamb dies because they are not feeding or raising it the way a lamb would need to be and they feel as if they’ve lost their daughter all over again, and it’s not until the lamb is dead that the truth of it being a lamb is revealed…….sounds so much more interesting than whatever this is
I’m only 9 minutes into the video and that is EXACTLY what I thought the movie would be. welp I guess not then :/
I thought that was what this movie would be about and I'm actually more delighted it wasn't that predictable, I was worried it was gonna be the classic the mother lost a baby and now she's going crazy because boo-hoo woman no baby and husband no understand woman feelings.
It just feels like a light hearted movie about complicated adults raising their adopted autistic child and trying to shield her from the fact she's different from other people.
the best version would be a mix of what you wrote and what was presented; we could have had two simultaneous films; one reality where she treats her like a sheep, the other, her child. sigh
Fuck, yeah. That's what I was expecting.
But no, it's a literal faun spawned by another faun who wants to reclaim it and the grief angle is not explored as much as it should have been.

That was my question too. I felt so much better seeing the guy at the end
I have only one question:
Did he have human balls or lamb balls.
Because lamb balls are freakin huge.
That would have definitely added a visual component that would have burst you into laughter without any holding back.

@Mickey Holmes I love that Daniel just seem to go for whatever weird shit he wants, imagine that level of success where you don't have to worry about your professional reputation
You made me spit out my drink with this comment
The reason why she reacted to the “does Ada know you killed her mother” was because he says that as blackmail. He’s trying to get her to have sex with him but she refuses saying that she’s married and then he immediately says that line insinuating that if she didn’t have sex with him he would tell Ada what she did. So her reaction makes a lot of sense
This is just the myth of the minotaur if they didn’t chuck the baby in the labyrinth
Also, I assumed that the sheep dad killed Ingvar for revenge because Maria killed his... um... wife?
Agreed. Maria killed his mate (sheep wife) and took his child. So sheepman killed her mate (human husband) and took back the child. I think it was him avenging what he perceived as wrongs committed against his family.
Also for why not Maria by the graves may have been “sacred soil” fantasy logic. I also think they meant to imply not that her uncle loved her but that she used mind control on him, but both could have been more clearly executed.

Yeah I was surprised she couldn’t put that together.
This got me thinking about “visually compelling movies with little to no dialogue” and now I REALLY want to hear your take on Ghost Story
This also makes me want a midsommar review lol
Yes! I was thinking the same thing.
Raccoon Valley. Oh boy.
Smiley Face Killers also comes to mind
edit: if anyone plans to watch SFK keep in mind it's based on a true story - ik ppl don't really fw that
For a second I thought you meant Ghost Stories the anime and I think that could potentially be just as hilarious
I'm just...baffled at the concept of sheep man having sex with a real sheep. And being enough of a sheep to impregnate it...and that makes me think...is he human enough... to conceive a human child if he has sex with a human woman? Cus if so...Maria finding her husband's body... but later goes home to find sheep man and Ada sleeping on couch... and Maria is like oh...this is my husband. Im not alone. This is fine. And cut to future where Maria is giving birth herself to sheep/human. And they're a family now... I feel like that would've played on the isolation aspect, the feeling of hopelessness and finding Comfort in things that are not normal... idk I'm imagining this and thinking THAT would've been disturbing, and genuinely like interesting. I feel they missed the ball, like Amanda says.
yeah if the movie went for a bizarre reverse beauty and the beast type thing it would be a lot more interesting and probably play more into the fable idea. That version could easily be read as a cautionary tale of pursuing unhealthy coping mechanisms for grief and being so isolated you become something "else." The movie as is is just "if a couple stole a sheep minotaur's child, would that be fucked up or what?"
This would have been a better movie. I would have looked at this plot and gone “yup, that’s horrifying”
that's the missing post credits getting ready for family christmas card montage scene
That would of been such a better ending
That would be truly disturbing because it would show have deranged the parents came to be when it started with taking sheep ada. Play up the element that humans can be very fucking insane on their own

You know what’s scary? The scene in Babe when Babe learns that the dogs bite sheep, the music and the lighting is terrifying. They should’ve done that.
Babe got deep depression when he found out humans raise pigs to eat them. I was surprised the movie never touched that, especially because the family constantly eats mutton throughout the movie.
Amanda having a gay panic over someone's arms is a mood, i was like "same girl, women and arms is *chef's kiss*"

Women chef arms.

This has to be satire.
I've no idea why this is marketed as a horror movie when it's not. It's a drama film with comedic and surreal/weird elements.
"I went to Iceland to have my pandemic sweatpants turned into boots so you dont have to"

also movie: Here is the climax **slaps you with a fish**
My husband and I watched this movie and we had to do some research on this. According to....things, Sheep-Man impregnated Sheep-Mom in the beginning part when those random horses were freaking out. Also, supposedly, this movie was supposed to be about nature taking back from humans or something? I didn't get that from the movie. I was also expecting the "twist" to be something more like Ingvar fucked the sheep or the lamb is a real lamb and they are both hallucinating that this is their kid (who was supposedly stillborn?). Once again, the marketing people saw a completely different film....a better film...and tried to get all of us to see that one.
I really thought it was gonna be a hallucination too
Not fun fact! You mentioned naming kids after already dead kids being messed up and possibly messing up kids mentally. The practice was really common back in the day. Doesn't mean it was not traumatic though.
That was actually done to Vincent Van Gogh. He was named after his mother's stillbirth who was born and died on the same day he was eventually born on a year later. He was aware of this and is known to have visited the grave. Same name and birthday only off by a year. This was probably one of many reasons his mental health was the way it was. (Then there was a third Vincent Van Gogh who was his nephew.)
There is absolutely no indication that having been named after a deceased relative had any part in his mental decline.
Van Gough was infamously mentally ill, whilst *numerous* people had been named after deceased relatives.
If this naming practice itself resulted in mental illness, an overwhelming portion of the entire population would suffer from mental illness.
It's a purely cultural practice, and insisting that there is any innate trauma or pathology to it is not only ridiculous, but shows a lack of understanding (and sympathy) for legitimate mental health conditions.
@@Jhfisibejoso8pkabrvo2is8 I wish you would have read what I said before getting upset and making up stuff about me. I talked about naming your child after a child of yours that already died. Not after dead relatives as a whole. Those are two very different things. A lot of people are named after dead relatives. My brother is. But there is a difference between doing that and naming them after their own sibling who died. Especially as a baby.
I also said this was probably one of many reasons he had mental health issues. Keywords: "probably". Because a person can easily make the inference that being named after your dead sibling would mess with your head. But again as I said before it was likely one of many reasons he had poor mental health.
You also have no basis to make a comment on my knowledge of mental health seeing as you couldn't even properly read and understand my first comment.
@@Jhfisibejoso8pkabrvo2is8 I think you didn't understand what they said
I have an uncle named Bruce who is named after the previous Bruce who was born healthy but died shortly after delivery due to medical malpractice
My biggest aunt was named the same way and I asked how she feels about this and she said "pretty normal, I woudnt expect them to come up with a new name." In my country naming a kid after the died one means that they dont have to find a new name and thats about it.
finally another bi who gets distracted by women’s arms. i almost outed myself at my cousin’s wedding cause a guest was a normal attractive woman except she had super buff arms and she was wearing a strapless dress and i could NOT stop staring. i got to hold a door open for her and it gave me butterflies
That's weird, isn't it? If you were a man you would be crucified here...
I mean, everyone has it's preferences but aren't we taught to combat our natural instincts for the sake of the civilized society?.. I am truly terrified imagining that so many people admit predatory staring at others and shamelessly glorifying it... Sorry, just my thoughts.

This is going to get lost in the comments but I'm 95% sure the scene of Petur taking Ada out into the fields with a gun was a stress dream that Maria was having and not something that literally happened
That's a good take.
That's how I read the scene, too.
I think it was a manifestation of what she knew was coming: she was going to lose Ada. She knew she wouldn’t have Ada forever and that eventually she’d leave.
6:06 - I'm p sure Salvadore Dali was named after his older brother who died before the Dali we know was born, and he was told that he WAS that brothers reincarnation. so yeah, it super can mess with someones head lol
Someone mentioned in a comment above that the dame thing happened to Van goh
If the sheep man really considered sheep mom as his "wife", then he would have had the pain of knowing what its like to have a spouse brutally murdered. He may have killed Ingvar to have Maria feel that pain; I would rather die than live to see my wife killed, its a much worse fate.
But then you're not a sheep man are you?
WAIT alternate universe where the sheep man kills EVERYONE but ingvar and then there's a post credits scene with them both in the house living a happy little gay domestic life with their fucked up child

A lot of very small children would just walk off with a stranger no problem. So I disagree with you on that, it is very realistic imo.

@@ejedwards988 this comment is very ominous lmao
It really depends how you present yourself. If you are friendly for quite some time, it's very likely. My mom and i were shopping, she meets a friend, the friend has a 4 year old girl. It took me just smiling and playing with her for her to immediately take my hand and go home, my home in that case because she got my old bike as a present. But then she did feel safe because then her mother was near her. But I do think that kids still have one or two gut feeling moments. I for sure did.
@@c2e.7877 Sometimes yes but as the parent of an autistic child I know for a fact it wouldn't matter how they acted my son would go with anyone.
Not to mention… she’s half-sheep. Lambs are docile. I too found this movie pointless and badly executed, but most of the questions and criticisms in this video felt too “American” for lack of a better word - they just felt like “Oh this doesn’t feel like a Hollywood movie where bad guys are punished and good guys win” 🥶 It was this very trusting nature of Ada that made her uncle not shoot her too
Ok, I watched this with my partner, and when the sheep man (we named him Shaun) showed up we started scream laughing. And, holy shit, when Maria starts looking at the camera, my partner literally shouted "Yup that's me-", and I was this close to pissing myself. Holy shit, this movie was amazing, 10/10 would watch again just to point and laugh.
for the record, two lambs were birthed on set! the scene was shot twice.
My take: Sheepman took out Ingvar for an equivalent punishment. She took out Elizabeth, so he took out Ingvar. Sheepman Justice with a sacrifice. Otta follows anyone because she’s a fucking lamb. “Everywhere that Mary went the lamb was sure to go”
auda may have followed the sheep man because since she's part sheep she follows easily?
😂 😂😂😂
A true sheeple she is
She ran out when she heard charlie and saw something that frightened her. I assume that was her seeing the sheep man
I want a shirt that says “I’m married and have a sheep daughter, leave me alone”
I'm actually really glad to hear that they used 10 children for the role of Ada! Less pressure on them and all that. I hope it was more fun for them than work that way.
There are so many better written endings in this comment section
This is obviously not a good place for you then.
This movie may be boring but I want to see the lamb/toddler child mix.
It’s so jarring when they finally show the lamb baby
The kid is kind of cute though, not gonna lie. Around 37 min in you can see "The lamb" having a human body.
I know it’s super obvious, but why wasn’t the twist that the sheep mom gave birth to a lamb that couldn’t use its legs, and because the parents are losing their minds, they decide to attach the top of the lamb to the corpse of their daughter, and, like, for some reason that gives the lamb complete motor function. We wouldn’t figure this out until later in the film, of course, but I just feel like that would be more objectively “horrifying”.
I mean, the first blood transfusion was between a sheep and a human...
Not sure if this was what you meant but I'm really picturing a reverse centaur situation where it's comedic the whole movie, the kid only makes goat noises and she loves climbing things but you only see her from the hips down the whole time. And then at the very end they pan up, the top half of the child is a lamb, everything is gone to shit. Movie ends
The trailer made me think this would be a movie about sheep who go buck wild and start killing people. Guess not
Same I thought they were gonna get revenge for sheep mom
That’s the New Zealand movie Black Sheep. Ovine zombie virus
entirely what I thought as well, glad I'm not alone in that thought
@@alisaurus4224 came here to make sure someone tapped Black Sheep, lol. A true early aughts camp masterpiece.
Agreeeeeeddd!
One thing I loved about Lamb is the way they filmed the animals in the first third of the movie: like (human) protagonists. It made me realize that the way animals are filmed in films is incredibly dull.
I've never be more invested in a sheep's inner emotions before.
28:53 I assume they had 10 different children, because children aren't allowed to act for many hours a day, especially when they are that young. So filming would have taken alot longer, if they chose fewer kids to portrait her. For example here in Germany kids between the ages of 3 to 6 can be on set for 3 hours a day and of those shoot for 2.
"he deserves a name >:(" was the cutest thing I ever watched
That’s the joke!
When the guy says “Does Ada know you killed her mother?” He means it literally.
The family thinks the half human/sheep hybrid is a sign from god and that it couldn’t be anyone but Ada because they just lost their child.
But in this universe, half sheep/human hybrids are apparently a thing and they innocently killed someone else’s family 😂😂😂
Sounds like a Welsh fairytale

So happy you did a review of this. I kept getting ads for it and wondering what the fuck was going on. I really don't do horror but I also wasn't 100% sure this was actually a horror movie and not a parody. So i'm happy to sit down and have someone else tell me what happened.
If you haven’t already, I’d recommend looking up the Too Scary, Didn’t Watch Podcast. They do a different scary movie each week, going scene by scene, plus trivia. The three ladies are just adorable :)
I watched this movie in theatres with 4 of my friends. We were the only people in the theatre and there was only 1 theatre in my city showing it. We added commentary throughout so it was super fun lol. We started hating the lamb and wanting to burn it with fire and by the end we were almost in tears wanting the lamb to be safe
Saw this a few days ago and was all excited for it since it was advertised as a horror movie and I'm a total horror fanatic... but it ended up being sooooooo slow. It was definitely weird, but it could've been weirder and I was so bored the entire time lmfao. However I did find the lamb baby cute after awhile--I grew a little attached:')
Honestly, the lamb-girl in her little jacket with the flower crown is adorable. If I came across a character like that in DnD or a video game, I would definitely be like "This is my child now, and anyone who tries to hurt her is dead meat." So maybe I see where Maria was coming from. Lol
I read a couple of reviews before watching it, and they all talked about how the reveal of the lambs body is “terrifying”. They also talked about how menacing the sheep were. Wtf. There’s no big reveal. She looks exactly like you’s expect her to look. She’s just a cutie. A little lamb girl. Not one reviewer mentioned it’s not at all horror movie. It’s just a sad modern folktale. How the hell did those reviewers see the same movie that we did?
Lots of farmers have workers dogs and they think naming the dog is going to turn it into a pet and it has a job, it’s not a pet. They don’t even pet the dogs.
that's kinda fucked
I'm not sure if this is based on Fae or what. But the horror you can do with them and the related creatures sounds like it was wasted. This is like stealing a Changling and I want to see the magical ramifications of pissing off ancient magical entities. Maybe more of The Hole in the Ground vibes?
was...was "ramifications" on purpose?
Curse my dumb-ass brain
Maria works on a farm. Lots of heavy lifting. 💪 Also in regards to "Charlie", while many of us consider our pets literal family, for others, especially farmers, dogs are just another animal on the farm. They there for a purpose, not love.
If 'bizarre tragedy' was a genre, it would be this movie.
Amanda, while I didn't laugh during this movie, I was also really bored! I was on board with a lamb human hybrid but I don't think it went far enough with its premise. I feel like it could have been weirder, even with the fable idea, fables have like a moral or something. I just don't know why or what it was going for other than the lamb human hybrid.
What’s up with people and plot? Can’t movies just be about feelings anymore? Do you guys even like Suspiria?
@@EvCMickelodeon but Suspiria has a clear plot?? This film was an example of a thin plot that actually needed to be flushed out or no plot at all.
From what I've read, the whole thing is meant to be symbolic of a kind of natural justice: if humans take from Nature and exploit it for their own self-centred reasons, Nature (which is not intrinsically evil but does demand justice/balance) will exact a price/revenge. Maria is apparently finally freed at the end by the price for her actions having been paid - you are meant to have a sense that she always knew Ada was not really hers and would not be with her for long. She was grieving - then desperately holding onto a flawed coping mechanism in the lamb-child - finally she accepts and can return to "real" ... life?
Yes, I'm as confused as you are.
@@dontbefatuousjeffrey2494 I hate when the only way to understand a movie is through external media

This movie was so heartbreaking and beautifully shot I actually paused to take photos of certain scenes. I absolutely loved this film and was quite moved by it
I’m not sure that it would be attempted murder, because that usually (at least under US common law) requires some concrete action or attempt. Pointing a gun at a child could be a host of other crimes, such as assault with a deadly weapon (altho based on her lack of reaction it’s not clear that she was placed in immediate apprehension of physical harm), criminal negligence (depending on if he is found to have a duty of care towards Ada), or child endangerment, but probably not attempted murder.
assault with a deadly weapon & child endangerment were my thoughts, yeah
Reckless handling of a firearm is a common one for people to be charged with for when nothing “serious” happens as a consequence
It’s a folk tale and a character study
It was just marketed as a horror, similarly to Midsommar
"Horror movie"
There is a child that is half animal
That literally so cute what is supposed to be scary lmao
I appreciate that Amanda is part of "Woman have strong arms, me like," crew.
We should make a sequel and call it "Sheeps."
This def could’ve been a “I did this so you don’t have to,” as well 🤣
Thanks for this video!!! I wanted to watch Lamb but also really did not want to.
Midsommar and Wicker Man (NOT the Nick Cage version 😝) are good daylight horrors.
The OG Wicker Man is INCREDIBLE
I need that ,,bitch, I'm a lamb" meme 😭
My husband and I burst out laughing as soon as the credits rolled! We were in total awe of how ridiculous this movie ended up being and stayed behind just to rant about it. 😂😂
I burst out laughing as soon as the sheep/man appeared and got an elbow from my wife for the trouble. Then she started laughing. Though the scenery does make want to go back to Iceland.
I think what went wrong was that people categorized this film under the wrong genre not that it was an underserving horror flick
My mom was named after her sister that passed. High child death mortality in Mexico in the 50’s for many reasons. That sister was my grandpa’s favorite child and that’s how we know my mom was the favorite and us as his grandchildren were also the favorite. It’s not weird to us, just a sad family story about my grandpa trying to keep her memory alive. Btw I’m also named after my mom.
I never saw the trailer and just assumed it would be a cute stuart little art romp and I found the movie so emotionally resonating I was sobbing crying at the end.
Unimportant details? Those are literally the only details that matter at all! And it will now live in my head and randomly pop up during insomnia for all time now. Ugh!
EDIT: The sheep man, sheep mom, sheep daughter dynamic, obviously!
The sheepman definitely came to one if the writers in a dream and they shrugged and went with it.
The guy who made the film actually did have a nightmare about sheep once and that was part of the inspiration for this. Legit.
The trailer reminds me of my favorite sheep based horror movie Black Sheep (2006). Set in New Zealand, about genetically engineered sheep. It's *chef's kiss*.
“Favorite sheep based horror movie” is a sentence you don’t hear everyday.
Amanda I found this comment on a video explaining the ending. I think it makes more sense if you read this.
It is an allegory on regret and Karma. Peter is the true father of the original “Ada”, the human child that they previously had that died before the film began (they never stated how she died). Peter and Maria had an affair (which is why him coming on to her multiple times was not a surprise).
What the scene of Peter taking the goat child “Ada” adds is immense. It represents his trepidation and resentment upon learning of the repercussions of his affair with Maria; namely, he didn’t want the child. But, ultimately, like he did with the goat Ada, he grew to love her and became her father figure. Which is why he consistently visited the farm.
The ending of the movie is fantastic in my opinion. It shows her surrounded by nothing but grief. Losing everything she held dear. Left with nothing: the consequences of her infidelity and choices. They even showed how she could not run from her past as she tried to bury the goat mon that she killed, refusing to acknowledge the true origin of Ada; just as she tried to run from the truth that the original Ada wasn’t her husbands, but a love child of her affair with the brother.
The movie did all this on such a subtle and subverted way. Very well done. I recommend watching it again through this lens. It will make a lot more sense.
This movie wasn't on my radar, but I might check it out now - I can appreciate a scene showing off a lady's swell arms.
Maria killed the Sheep man’s spouse and stole his daughter, so he did the same to Maria… and killed Charlie. Still a ridiculous sounding movie though. 10/10 will watch.
I Want to know why the concept of marriage exists in sheep-human society

As someone who desperately wants to go to Iceland and has since I was like 12, (and lowkey hyperfixates on Icelandic culture) they just leave their doors open/unlocked, like all the time. Especially in the countryside!!!!!!!
16:27 Looks like a binge of the Noomi Rapace catalog is in store for Swell. 😉😊
In Iceland all children sleep in the room with their parents until they are like 4 years old.
I feel like this was more of a family drama about raising an adopted non-verbal child rather than a horror movie.
My friend has this theory this is just a world where fairies exist (in the beginning they are watching a tv program about folklore). In folklore sometimes fairies will just impregnate people, and if you have their baby you must raise them as your own. They're like deadbeats who come back when you're 11 and expect custody. I think Ingvar gets killed just because it's ironic Maria killed Ada's biomom and Ingvar get's killed by her biodad. I don't think it has any deep meaning other than what's on the label.
I feel so deeply disappointed this movie isn't called Sheeple. What a missed opportunity.
My friend made a Sheeple joke during the credits lol
Icelandic local here.
Yes most our movies are this.
Yes it is so boring and "artsy" but also the fun ones don't translate well 😅
Having 10 kids play Ada would allow production to maintain a full shooting schedule. Kids can only work on set for so long before their day is done due to child labor laws but since Ada doesn’t have a human face we need to keep track of they just swap out the body and keep rolling. Smart on their end 👍🏼
I guess maybe the sheep-man shot the husband in a "you took my 'spouse' so I'll take yours" sort of way
I love this movie. It's a very slow burn. You wanted to be horrified--I get that, but the over riding mood for me was the sadness and loneliness that's beside of the ultimate horror. I guess if there was a takeaway message here, it was how human beings use animals for our own ends--our own needs, wishes, desires and in the end in this story there's a reason for the comeuppance that's hinted at but never fully explained. The film tantalizingly lets the viewer fill in the blanks, and I've absolutely spent some time thinking about this film. It's really stayed with me. Love it. For me it's a keeper.
I saw this movie and my only thought at the end was “well, at least the cat survived.” 😅
A24 has a problem marketing its’ horror movies. See it comes at night. It’s no wonder these tiktok kids go see it thinking it’ll be a revelation when in actuality it’s more a think piece.

@@wordpainter1 All the comments saying they thought it would be a sheep going on a killing rampage or something… Have they watched an A24 movie? There’s a couple campy movies in there but that’s not where my mind immediately goes to.
Lost my ish when Maria asked Ingvar to watch Ada, 2 mins later Ada is alone and Ingvar is in the garage using tools and woodworking lol, typical Dad!
I just started getting suggestions for this channel, and I am fascinated. I feel like I’m watching a producer, director, actor, writer, craft services, and an editor pretending to be one person making a video in their bedroom. Even the items in the background look like they were chosen by committee.
I could see how people would find a couple raising a half lamb human child disturbing, personally I find it cute and wholesome. Like “found family” type vibe
The sheep man killed the dad because the mom killed his partner and stole(?) his child. So the mom being left alone is the perfect revenge
from the sounds of it this movie could have been 10 minutes long
So it's a metaphor for a family kidnapping a child after the loss of their own????

I saw this movie on the connecting flight from Reykjavik back home, agree it was very cozy looking. And pretty neat to look outside and see the same landscape in the movie

i will say i have learned that rotten tomatoes, at least to me, means nothing, movies with high critic scores and low audience scores can go either way and vice versa, like low rotten tomatoes scores make me want to see a movie but so do high ones lol like it all means jack all
Abrupt endings like that in horror do tend to feel hilarious to me, and that sounds like a real kicker! For some reason this reminds me of Crowley’s ‘Household Gods,’ which is sort of a shitty little play adaptation of Leda and the Swan.
I do kind of want to watch it more now just bc it’s set in Iceland, which has been my dream vacation since I was 11
OH and if you want to see some *nice* lady-arms-lady muscles-(and good character-driven horror) have you watched Sweet Home yet?? When the firefighter has to climb up into the vents…oh my god. The actress is a boxer and oh my GOD

i thought this was going to be more like the short horror film "the doll maker" that's here on youtube it is also driven by grief and loss of a child, but there's an unexpected plot twist. and a level of feeling that this movie lacks and it's literally 9minutes long
I absolutely love this film.
