The Other Lamb Reviews
“The Other Lamb” certainly isn’t subtle with its message. You can’t mistake it for anything other than a metaphor for abusive relationships and their punishing effects. But while it might be obvious, that doesn’t mean it’s ineffective.

Casts a wicked spell, one that will leave you beguiled and a little baffled by the end, in the best way possible.
| Original Score: 8/10 | May 13, 2022
The Other Lamb features plenty of striking visuals and several convincing performances. Still, its stylistic approach keeps the viewer at an emotional remove, leaving us to admire the result with cold appreciation.

The Other Lamb is a gripping meditation on the discovery of self and the gaining of independence.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 31, 2021
Lots of intrigue from the start, only to fall flat in the end. "The Other Lamb" fails to seek it's full potential.
| Original Score: D | Jun 23, 2021
As folk horror goes, The Other Lamb is a subtle beast.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 17, 2021
THE OTHER LAMB is a careful and brutal examination of life as a cult member and the inner workings and manipulations of a religious cult. It has ice in its veins and brutal force moving in slow motion that will not let you escape unscathed.

The Other Lamb sets a dreamy, gauzy tone from the opening scene, but the camera finds perfect focus on Selah's anger.

If this is a parable about masculinity and power, it doesn't come off.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 26, 2020
The Other Lamb is an atmospheric tale of innocence lost and gained while under the control and gaze of one man's selfish acts.

Cassidy makes a powerful anchor to a film that could be solely lost in its shallow beauty, making it something all the more fascinating.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 18, 2020
This is provocative, disturbing, and deeply unsettling cinema... and all without a single jump scare or flamethrower in sight.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 26, 2020
Very well done. It has a very sinister, impressive atmosphere with these little flashes of surreal horror...

The atmosphere of frontier decay and misogynistic oppression is sufficiently well maintained to sustain attention throughout
| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 19, 2020
Take the film as a pared-back cousin to The Handmaid's Tale. But if some elements seem familiar, Szumowska has aces of her own to play.

It's not subtle, but it is bold.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 15, 2020

| Original Score: 3.0/4.0 | Sep 26, 2020
