I saw Lamb at an independent Film Festival last September. A menacing, stomach-wrenching foreboding grips from the very first minute.
Fantastic performances by Aoife Duffin and Éanna Hardwicke (and the twin sisters who play the baby.)
It is wonderfully shot, with acts as simple as buttering toast conveying the tension of the situation.
It brought back feelings I last experienced watching Michael Hanke's Lustige Spiele/Funny Games.
It is amazing how quickly this film transports you to the same place.
If you are looking for the clichéd whimsy of many Irish films, look elsewhere. Lamb is dark. It is disturbing. It is brilliant.
