Film Review - Rams (2020)

 

Rams is a new Australian film starring Sam Neill and Michael Caton as 2 brothers who run a Sheep Farm who lose their flocks due to a disease outbreak in their community, one of the brothers then hides 3 of his sheep in his house and doesn’t even talk to his brother much but that is soon to change.

 

I didn’t know an awful lot about Rams and I mainly saw it due to the cast and thought “Oh this could be fun” and sadly it wasn’t, the film has some pretty major tonal issues.

 

On the one hand you do get some fun antics with the 2 brothers and those scenes work well enough and Mr Neill and Mr Caton do good work in those scenes but on the other hand it tries to be this serious drama about their farm and bushfires and why the 2 brothers don’t speak to each other much and I wish their character arcs were better developed as the 2 brothers barely talk to each other throughout most of the movie and it really bogs down the film overall.

 

And so that was Rams and yeah despite 2 iconic Australian actors this movie didn’t do much for me I’m afraid, 1.5 out of 5.
