Review of Rams

Rams (2020)
7/10
Not exactly rammed with laughs
18 April 2021
This is the story of two brothers who have a decades-long feud . They live on sheep farms next to each other but only communicate through a sheep dog. The conflict comes to a head when disaster strikes their flocks and fires threaten to destroy their homes .

This is a remake of an an Icelandic film released five years previous , which I think I saw but can't remember too much about .

It's labelled as a comedy but it really has no laugh out loud moments to speak of . I'd describe it as gentle comedy that makes you smile rather than laugh.

Sam Neil is good as is Michael Caron . Both actors have the experience and that lived in looks to carry this off well .

It's a film that is telling you that family conflict is not worth it . Sort out your issues before it's too late , life's too short .

Despite its predictability and it being twenty minutes too long , it's still enjoyable fair .
