A brilliant film set in the 19th Century in the Australian outback, showcasing the rich colors of the Australian landscape.
The dry harshness of the landscape reflects the harshness of life for people at that time.
Well cast with both English, Australian and indigenous actors, reflecting the reality of the times.
Both subtle and blatant references to the social divides between Irish and Scottish immigrants and the English squatocracy, while also showing that aboriginals were absolutely at the bottom of the social heap.
Ultimately a film about family loyalty being strained beyond redemption.
A must see for patrons of Australian cinema.

To 'enjoy' this film you have to be mentally defective, full stop.
If you like realistic and graphic depictions of a corpse being violently raped and then sliced and sawn up afterwords, then this may be for you. Enduring the film is something different. I watched it because I was exploring "category III" HK cinema and Dr.Lamb was pointed out as being a good example. I also have seen "The Untold Story" and whilst being quite equally repugnant, it didn't seem to be as exploitive as 'Lamb'.
"The music industry is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run wild and good men die like dogs. There is also a negative side" Hunter S. Yhompson
