- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: The debut feature from…Valdimar Jóhannsson plays like a Greek tragedy shot through with Christmas symbolism, “Little Otik” and “Stuart Little” and that the whole doesn’t come off as preposterous is due to the filmmaker’s tonal control.
- James Jay Edwards @ The Big Smoke America
- Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
- Excerpt: Haunting and hypnotic. The production relies heavily on atmospherics.
- Charlie Juhl @ Citizen Charlie
- Excerpt: What happens in northern Iceland, stays in northern Iceland
- Brent McKnight @ The Last Thing I See
- Excerpt: I’m not sure that this is supposed to be a comedy, but I’m not sure it isn’t.
- C.H. Newell @ Father Son Holy Gore
- Excerpt: Jóhannsson crafts Lamb into a powerful allegory about the way human beings treat the natural world around them.
- Matt Oakes @
- Excerpt: A24’s unsettling and atmospheric horror-hybrid incites an unholy matrimony of humankind’s domination of the natural world and their need to belong within it. Peculiar, menacing, and strongly-acted, Valdimar Jóhannsson’s ‘Lamb’ is an off-kilter fairy tale that fascinates and frustrates but remains steadily committed to its brand of odd-duck pathos.

- Excerpt: A bizarre icelandic journey!
- Gregory J. Smalley @ 366 Weird Movies
- Excerpt: It falls just short of earning a general recommendation, but for those who enjoy slow but offbeat art-house movies that focus as much on gorgeous scenery as horrific visions, ‘Lamb’ may serve to fill an empty space inside of you.
- Sebastian Zavala @ Cinencuentro.com [Spanish]
- Excerpt: Jóhansson injects such a dense atmosphere into his film, that it is impossible not to fall under the spell of such an absurd plot.
