Who would have thought that a tale about sheep in rural Iceland could bring tears to your eyes? Grímur Hakonarsons RAMS does just that.
Majestically shot in a spectacular, weather-swept valley, this wryly observed fable about two brothers who are more obstinate than the sheep they breed begins as a droll comedy about rural life and grows into a graceful and mythic tale about family, community and legacy.

Critic Reviews:
The quirkiness that seems omnipresent in much of the film falls away to reveal something hard and brutally meaningful. – Antagony & Ecstasy
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. – Flavorwire
Rams is a very strange film, but it's one that takes us to the top of the world to find people that, sure enough, we recognise as ourselves. – Madison Movie
