Rams Reviews
Neill and Caton complement each other terrifically, their fiery partnership sells the entire film.
It's funny and sad, but with feel-good vibes, and I know this is a terrible, intentional pun but - it's a really good yarn.
While the film moves at a pace that could be too leisurely for some, director Jeremy Sims convincingly captures the farming backdrop, and his film's tenderness and charm prove irresistible.
It's a decent film (a great one for animal lovers).
Neill and Caton are the reason to go because their performances relay so well off each other. Admirers of the original storyline might feel Sims has softened the plot tension a bit, but Rams benefits from the easygoing mood.
The real magic of the film, of course, lies in the relationship between the brothers, and although this never quite equals what we see in Hákonarson's film, there's a lot of enjoy about it.
It is an odd experience, and I wonder what it would be like if I hadn't seen the original...a strange comedy in a remote area...but well-worth checking out...
Watching Neill coo 'you are beautiful, no, you are beautiful' to his flock is entertainment factor alone but this is an unexpectedly lovely little film.
If you're coming fresh to this story, you might easily enjoy Jeremy Sims's simple drama with a streak of dry humour.
Despite some broad gags and third-act contrivances, the film is both amusing and touching as it explores a struggling industry through endearing characters of both the two-legged and four-legged variety.
Same fundamental idea, weaker execution.
It works on the assumption that a story about grumpy old gits united against a common foe has a universal appeal. True, to an extent...
The ending, however, is the dealbreaker and has been transformed from tear-jerking heartbreaker (I bawled) to grim chocolate box schmaltz (I almost barfed).
a realistic view of what people do and sometimes have to face
"Rams" isn't earth-shattering, but real-feeling and engaging, with a strong cast and fine sheep and a good dog.
No matter how many calamities reign down from above, it's never in doubt that the residents of this sheep enclave will be just fine. Their middlebrow fantasy may be charming, but it's also completely forgettable.
While it doesn't all work, the capable cast gives the low-key "Rams" a much-needed punch.
The film feels a bit long and slow, but there's plenty going on around the edges to make it thoroughly enjoyable.
Mr. Neill struggles with the film's laggardly pacing -- not for long, since he's a canny veteran with a trusty bag of tricks, but long enough to remind you that stars are as vulnerable to clumsy direction as anyone else.
Clearly, if anyone was going to even come close to the 2015 film, it would be Australian director Jeremy Sims. Good on ya, mate!
