    • Trivia
      Highest grossing motion picture in the history of Icelandic cinema, as of 2021, earning over million dollars on the first weekend alone. This also makes this film the most attended Icelandic film shown in U.S. theaters ever (again on the first weekend alone), and this despite being pitted against such big-name blockbusters like the James Bond franchise, which premiered in USA theaters on that same weekend.

    Different, call it an old folk tale, supernatural or sentimental still it touches in a strange way.
    "Lamb" is one of those movies that even after you watch you still try to take in and process it, call it what you want drama, or thriller it's one strange mixed film with love and realism. Set in rural Iceland on a farm a couple named Maria(Noomi Rapace) and Ingvar enjoy life only something is missing and that is they are childless something that is a place in their heart that is burning and dripping.

    So aside from the hard work of farming and feeding the place is surrounded with animals they have a dog and cat, yet lamb come into play a flock of beautiful sheep. Then things get strange and crazy when a calf is delivered and born as it is then raised as the couple's own and feels like a human baby. The film shows the strain and attachment of worry, love, and uncertainty. Only in the end the picture twist like a strange folk fairy tale. Overall "Lamb" may not be liked by everyone still it's worth a watch for it's different and strange feel as it leaves a viewer to think and process it's meaning and story of life and love.
