Unironically there is one sheep that gives one of the most nuanced and harrowing performances I’ve seen all year
parent brain is watching Noomi Rapace's humanoid lamb daughter walk around in a cute little fall outfit and instantly thinking "i wonder if Zara has something like that in my kid's size."
[15 minutes pass] ah! i understand. it’s going to be an allegory for [91 minutes pass] hmmmm. something!
lotta light-switches in their house for a couple who lives around constant daylight. much less weird than i was hoping but also, i liked it!
this was so rough that i keep opening up this app to start a review and then i lock my phone and laugh
Two moods watching this movie:
1. Wow, this looks beautiful, everything is understated but powerful, there are probably a lot of deep themes present that would require multiple viewings to fully comprehend
2. LOOK AT THE LAMB CHILD IN A SWEATER!!!
