Movie Review – Lamb

I battled with myself all night long on what I would and wouldn’t say about Lamb. It’s no secret that I have had issues with every single movie that A24 has done. If you are fans of A24 I will apologize ahead of time. The deciding factor as to which route I would take came from something that a big group of people in my theater yelled out as the credits rolled. The three words that came out of their mouths summed it up perfectly. They yelled, “WTF?” We all know what that stands for.

Here’s one of my biggest gripes: lack of backstory. Come on A24, when are you going to start giving us some? We had to wait thirty-five minutes into the movie to get our first answer, which was only a glimpse of something. I hate that. Here’s another one: character development. That is ridiculously important in forming a good story.

Who are these people we’re watching? Am I supposed to like them, hate them or feel sorry for them? I don’t know, hell I don’t think A24 knows. But wait, there’s more, they throw in these scenes that you’re wondering WTF is this all about. I’m sitting there thinking, “Did they accidentally edit another film’s scene into Lamb?” The scene I’m speaking of was so totally random and it never got tied into the movie.

The story had the potential to be great. I feel if perhaps Blumhouse did it, it would have been phenomenal. I feel their vision would be 20/20 while A24 is sitting over there wearing bifocals so thick they can see into the future. Too bad they couldn’t see in the present and maybe produce a good movie for once.

Grade: D+

About The Peetimes:
First, this movie is subtitled. Thankfully there wasn’t much talking but be prepared to read a lot.

Both Peetimes come right before big reveals, so be fast.

There are no extra scenes during, or after, the end credits of Lamb. (What we mean by Anything Extra.)

Movie Watching Must Have!!

I go feral for this app. I love it so much and I wish everyone knew about it and used it. It is incredibly useful and I would be devastated if this app ever disappeared. Things I love: 1) the pee times! It’s so handy to know the best time to go and then read the synopsis of what’s happening while I’m gone. I never have to worry about missing the good bits! 2) knowing if there is a post-credits scene or not. This might be my fav feature because I would have missed out on some pretty critical scenes if it weren’t for RunPee. 3) the movie review and viewer rankings. This info has made me watch some movies that I normally wouldn’t and it’s nice seeing things outside of my usual scope. 4) that it’s a small family run business. I love shopping small and it really does feel like I’m part of the RunPee family! If you reach out to them, Dan will personally respond to you and he is so warm and helpful. GET THIS APP AND THEN SUBSCRIBE! It is absolutely worth it and you’ll be using it again and again!

Christene Johnson (RunPee Sis)

RunPee.com owes RunPee Sis a huge debt of gratitude. She sees any movie needed with no complaints and has done so for ten years (even basing Thanksgiving and Christmas family festivities around the seeing films). In 2015 Sis ran the entire RunPee enterprise herself, while RunPee Dan, Jilly and Mom went traipsing off to Europe. Sis is the spider in the web holding the RunPee family together — besides being a funny, well rounded person, and a joyous pleasure to be around. Her favorite films start and end with horror (which thank goodness she’s happy to see, since most of us don’t have the stomach for it) — but also likes silly comedies, sad dramas, and musicals of all types. If you’ve used a Peetime for a scary film, you probably have RunPee Sis to thank for it.

Favorite movie genre: Horror, horror, and more horror. The more disturbing, the better. Period.
