As a cinematographer and editor myself.... this is a nicely shot movie.
I am totally cool with and enjoy slow movies, but a slow movie needs to keep me from wanting to hang in and wait for the reveal. The movie needs to keep me from picking up my phone multiple times, going to IMDB and reading reviews on the movie, as I watch it, to see whether I need to hang in there or give up on this.
With Lamb you need to be prepared to hang in there for 40 minutes before you say, "Oh... okay, I think I will continue watching this."
I did not time how long it took me to begin questioning again as to whether I want to finish this movie but I hung in there again.
The last two minutes of the film I, again, was like,"Oh, okay, cool," and then it was over.
I can't say as to whether I want to tell me friends to watch this or not.
I think it would have been better as a short story, a twenty minute film.
