Rams is a film that goes its own way, settling like a cozy sweater made from beautiful sheep. Read full review

The Guardian Luke Buckmaster

Oct 28, 2020

Rams is a lovely, even-tempered drama about men and rural life, gentle but firm of spirit, with a down-to-earth pith and a way of entertainingly and unpretentiously exploring potentially difficult subjects such as masculinity. Read full review

No sensitive viewer could deny the spirit of the original remains, but Jeremy Sims’s charming cover version reverberates with unmistakably Australian harmonies. Read full review

Movie Nation Roger Moore

Jan 12, 2021

It’s a bit all over the place, introducing characters and possible story threads that it abandons, which accounts for what feels like a somewhat bloated running time for a dramedy that’s essentially a three-hander, and that wants to be — despite dramatic moments — a comedy. But the leads and the lovely scenery make up for some of that. Read full review

Tim Grierson

Feb 11, 2021

Director Jeremy Sims allows this simple saga of renewal and survival to go a little broad and self-consciously crowd-pleasing, resulting in a comedy-drama without the original’s elemental grace and wisdom. Read full review

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, but what the makers of this film fail to realise is that it was the specificity of the Icelandic original that made it such a glumly hilarious delight. Read full review

This remake isn’t terrible, just tentative and too long by at least 40 minutes. Read full review
