Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

Amateur movie with Big budget

Admirable film.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

wow..just horrible..the movie is trying to normalize pedophilia..it is disturbing to see that now this is the trend..showing that a relationship between a middle aged man and a very young child is normal and perfectly natural..It is quite shocking that we reached this point where these kind of movies now pop up, and people cant see nothing abnormal about it. Movies as a matter of fact have always been used as an efficient tool to brainwash..this movie is doing just that,,brainwashingavoid this movie..trash that presents child abduction and pedophilia in a positive light!!

Wow! How can one even begin to describe or rate this movie? It's like watching a train wreck but you just can't look away.Both Ross Partridge and Oona Laurence are terrific in their starring roles here. Partridge also directed and wrote the screenplay, based on the novel by Bonnie Nadzam. Partridge portrays the very strange 47-year- old David Lamb, who's in the throes of a divorce, his father has just passed away, and he's been asked by his boss to take some time off to get himself together. Also, he's in the midst of an office romance with a woman (Jess Weixler), who seems to care very much for him, but he's only capable of wanting a sexual dalliance at this point. David is also a rather vile manipulator and prevaricator, which he uses to gets what he wants.Laurence is simply amazing as the 11-year-old Tommie, who spends most of her time on the streets with her so-called friends, and who comes from a most neglectful and miserable home life. After watching her performance in this film, I can't see how Laurence cannot have the brightest future on the silver screen.Thus, when David and Tommie cross paths in a strip mall parking lot, it will mark the beginning of a most creepy and bizarre "bonding' between the two that will culminate in David taking Tommie on a several day's trip to his late father's isolated cabin. Although Tommie will get to experience things she never has before, she's manipulated every step of the way by David. Through his subtle promptings, he will convince her not to notify her mother where she's gone. Although there are no overt sexual advances on his part, David ends up placing Tommie in emotional situations no 11-year-old should be. Things will just get creepier and more bizarre as the movie progresses, but as mentioned, I was just totally engrossed, as painful as it was to witness.Overall, this was a most unsettling film, to say the least, with terrific performances from Partridge and Laurence, and with its most gut wrenching ending its impact will stay with me for some time to come.

In the car he told her that he slept two days, and she remembered nothing (roofie?)! Beyond that in the house in the countryside begins vomiting, nausea and abdominal pain (signs of pregnancy !?) In my pure signs of rape ... And when he tried to give her something to drink, but she refused, he forcing her to drink. She spilled liquid, and he goes crazy, and so to speak tears her clothes! Things settled down a bit, and after that she did not remember two days ... I really do not understand that the main actor has accepted this role. And when does not stop with sex while she looks-even gain the impression that he imagines the girl instead of his girlfriend.And the approach is horrible. The story boils down to is that it is normal to kidnap a child and do not give her to call home, assuring her that her better that way! As a prescription for how to kidnap a child! I would have banned the film, and has him in pedophilia! If you look closely movie, you see that it is full of ways how to approach a child (no matter what she first came to him), lie to him, to divert attention ... bad movie!

LAMB is set in the Midwest and its conventions. A middle aged man, beset by adult challenges including the death of a parent, work and crumbling relationships, encounters a young girl whose home has provided no identity or value. The two go on a road trip deeper into the heart of the country and into unexpected inner places. LAMB is risky and challenging exploration of love, our need for it, the unusual places where we find it and the sacrifices it calls for. Oona Laurence as the young girl is superb and deserves consideration for a Best Actress award. The cinematography is evocative. Ross Partridge is to be commended for his integrity, courage and skill in bringing this story to the screen.
