When it comes to A24, you know you're about to get a banger or an oddity or perhaps both. "Lamb", although decent, ultimately falls into the oddity category, due primarily to its chronic pulling of punches. After 95 minutes of relatively sedate, if slightly weird, inaction, it threatens to spring to outrageous life with the appearance of what is essentially a modern-day minotaur, raising hopes for a finale with the craziest of connotations. And then? It just ends. Come on guys! There are times when restraint can actually be an indulgence, and this is one of those times. Still, a good movie, with Noomi Rapace looking fire as the loving adoptive mother of a lamb-headed child.
