I liked this one. It is beautifully filmed, the main actresses and actor deliver convincing performances, and it feels like its functioning very well with a small budget. 'The other lamb' builds up an increasingly baleful atmosphere, made of dangerous idealisation, jealousy, ambition, manipulation and doubts. I really much appreciate how this film focuses more on intra- and interpersonal dynamics than on simply horrifying events. Thus creating a well balanced genre mix of mystery/thriller/horror/drama elements.

Pretty scenery and everything, but the endless staring and bleeding gets daunting at about the 40 minute mark, only to finally be capped off by the ever fashionably grandstanding resolution. Safe, sheepish choices disguised as brave revolutionism.

Slow burn with A24 horror vibes.

Atmospheric, with tremendous visuals and a decidedly sinister overtone. Some good performances from the primary cast members, with Selah and the Shepherd particularly worthy of note. There's no doubting its message, which is delivered with all the subtlety of an 18 wheeler crashing into a gorge, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. There is too little character development to be completely successful, and its abrupt ending will leave some viewers unsatisfied, as will several tangential plot points that are meant to be profound, but instead simply wander away without resolution or meaning. Nonetheless, there's a lot here for genre fans.

A movie that could have been so much better if the pacing wasn't so awful.

This is probably a good film, but all the symbolism is lost on me. Beautiful country where this was shot, I'll give it that. And the acting was top notch. Plot, meh, idk, it was ok. Raffey Cassidy plays the protagonist and is on a bit of a roll with this her 4th movie in a row with good reviews (Allied, The Killing of a Scared Deer, Vox Lux). Michiel Huisman plays the creepy Shepherd and does a fine job being creepy. The supporting cast was not anything to write home about but didn't ruin the movie either. I can't really recommend to the masses but if you are a movie buff it's worth the watch.

This is an example of a great story with a lot of potential to fly high but never took off and ended up landing disastrously.

I'm not a horror fan, just on a roll of watching film by Australian writers. I did really enjoy this one though - if you're a fan of cult movies you'll like this.

Beautifully shot but far too slow and ultimately simplistic in its themes. Men bad, women good, etc.

This was weird but I mostly liked it. It's basically like The Witch meets Midsommar but I liked it a lot more than either of those which I'm sure is a wildly unpopular opinion!

An unapologetically dull waste of time. Roughly 5 minutes worth of plot (if it could be called a plot) stretched out over 90 minutes. This film strikes me as the result of someone having had The Handmaid's Tale described to them by someone else with a dirty sock stuffed in their mouth, shouting the plot from the next room, and the writer thinking "I guess I'll make that?".

6.75/10. It walks the line between artistically fanciful and annoyingly pretentious, but great acting and a lean screenplay pull this cult-story back from the directors ostentatious albeit visually appealing whimsy.

Lots of pretty shots for ultimately no pay off and an unsatisfying story

My God this film was slow to the extent it was B--ORING! Its been a while, I have come across a film where every shot felt like a painting and still, I found myself struggling to get through with it. The whole film was a bunch of looks and stares, cult singing and roaming around. A perfect example of a wannabe arthouse film going wrong totally from a writing standpoint. Heavy-handed messaging, virtually nothing interesting going on. Kind of a film where minimum dialogues wud work wonders to move the story if they are written purposefully. When I was finally able to finish this arduous film, I can't help but thinking that I watched a pretentious dud, an interesting premise could have been much more with better writing.

Sadly, I found this just another one of these unbelievably dull, style over substance borefests, that masquerades as an 'arthouse' picture about something 'important' when it's actually more like a 97 minute advert. Quite how they managed to make a film set in the woods about a cult containing no drama or tension whatsoever is beyond me. Just so fed up of people thinking they're making a decent film just because they have an important message but clearly seem far more concerned with making everything beautiful. If you really cared that much about the message you're trying to convey then you wouldn't get sidetracked with all of the 'pretty pictures' and you'd make sure the story was told. Too much of this nonsense being made at the moment, give me a plot and some drama someone please! (Rant over)

A film about a matter that let me always kind of depressed because its difficult to me to accept people that believe and live on these things. When a film is about a subject that turn our stomachs the level has to reach a certain film level. The movie is good (bizarre and weird) and makes You jawdropped until the final scene which is also atoneshing Beautiful scenario which for sometimes confuses us if the story was on our time or at some past. In the end of the day is great but is missing something to go to another level. Raffey Cassidy is great.

A very rare case in Rotten, where the audience dropped the ball, and the critics gave a more deserved score, this movie is much better then 33%

‘The Other Lamb' Is Gripping and Disturbingly True-to-Life

What a craptastic waste of time. No story or character development. They repeat many of the same boring scenes over and over. There's a token black character. The dialogue, ugh, so thin and shallow It's like they didn't even try. A lot of soundtrack overlap with "O Brother Where Art Thou". The director apparently wanted to creep us out, but there's just nothing worth watching here at all. It's not deep just cause you say it's deep. This one is shallow.

Cults never seem to have good endings for some reason I can’t pinpoint why 2.7
