Rams Ratings & Reviews
Entertainment Weekly
Joe McGovern
The film's touching final scene is imbued with the raw truth of a prairie fable told among shepherds over the centuries.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
In its attentive and hushed way, the movie is about collision: between stubborn farmers and the government veterinary board, between ancient ways and modern times, between two old, hardheaded brothers.
Seattle Times
Michael Upchurch
Sigurjónsson's Gummi, with his quiet canniness and his fearful, conflicted feelings about his belligerent brother, is the best reason to watch "Rams."
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
Resonant and surprisingly affecting ...
San Francisco Chronicle
G. Allen Johnson
If you are determined to enjoy it, Hakonarson will throw every challenge in your path.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
Two estranged fraternal Icelandic sheep farmers might not seem like the most promising of movie subjects. Think again.
Brooklyn Magazine
Keith Uhlich
Gummi and Kiddi's interactions tend toward the comical, but the rock-steady widescreen cinematography by Sturla Brandth Grøvlen lends the proceedings a deadpan aura.
Flavorwire
Jason Bailey
This small, peculiar story becomes strangely involving; it's a movie that sneaks up on you, right up to the bursting-dam emotion of its extraordinary closing scenes.
NPR
Bob Mondello
A drama that offers a portrait of dedication and alienation, as well as of an unspoken, honored-entirely-in-the-breach bond between brothers who've spent a lifetime butting heads near the top of the world.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
Serious and moving but also with a bleaker than bleak Scandinavian sense of humor, "Rams" is so much its own film that figuring out where its unusual, unpredictable plot will end up is difficult if not impossible.
New York Post
Farran Smith Nehme
Director Grímur Hákonarson excels at building tension through long takes, and the actors are excellent. Sigurjónsson offers a world of meaning in a grunt or a lift of the shoulders.
Village Voice
Alan Scherstuhl
It's the rare international shepherd drama that feels urgently connected to contemporary American politics.
AV Club
Mike D'Angelo
Sigurjónsson and Júlíusson build on this in their distinct performances (one's angry, the other more sorrowful), silently conveying the weight of whatever long-ago betrayal led to their estrangement.
RogerEbert.com
Matt Zoller Seitz
You spend a rather long time during this movie simply watching characters exist. That's something mainstream American films almost never do, and there's something quietly riveting about it ...
Wall Street Journal
John Anderson
For all its intrinsic Nordic absurdity, Chaplinesque pathos and unsettling use of vastness, writer-director Grímur Hákonarson's "Rams" is also a moving, deftly told tale about various kinds of loss.
Slant Magazine
Chuck Bowen
Every moment in writer-director Grímur Hákonarson's strange and wonderful film is imbued with mystery and revealing dignity.
NPR
Ella Taylor
If the movie touches on universal issues of sibling rivalry, the psychological insight is almost incidental in what is an intensely particular and roughly tender tone piece.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
Despite its affection for the quirks of its characters and their milieu, the film is most memorable for its gravity, for the almost tragic nobility it finds in sad and silly circumstances.
The Hollywood Reporter
Todd McCarthy
A small story about two old estranged brothers and their animals gently morphs from gentle near-absurdist comedy to something close to tragedy.
Variety
Alissa Simon
Rams is a touching humanist drama set in a remote farming valley where two estranged brothers must come together to save what's dearest to them: their sheep.
