Ephraim und das Lamm

...[giver] med megen præcision en skildring af et fattigdoms miljø – hvor overlevelse syntes at være livets mening.

What’s most exciting about Lamb, the first Ethiopian film to play at Cannes (it appears in the Un Certain Regard section), is that it is an ethnographic film made entirely from the inside out.

Both of these people are lost, each in their own way... ...And the actors playing them make their situation feel so plausibly real that at times the movie—and the audience—aches with them.

Det er en eventyrlig film med sanselige billeder af grønne bakker, frodige skove og sandfarvede stenhytter. Omfavnet af sollyset. Det er et fremmed, eksotisk univers.
