Mark Kermode Kermode & Mayo's Film Review 10/20/2020
Very well done. It has a very sinister, impressive atmosphere with these little flashes of surreal horror... Go to Full Review Tara Brady Irish Times 10/19/2020
4/5
The atmosphere of frontier decay and misogynistic oppression is sufficiently well maintained to sustain attention throughout Go to Full Review Danny Leigh Financial Times 10/15/2020
4/5
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. Go to Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies 08/24/2022
3.5/5
“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. Go to Full Review Dan Bayer Next Best Picture 05/13/2022

Casts a wicked spell, one that will leave you beguiled and a little baffled by the end, in the best way possible. Go to Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review 02/20/2022
2.5/4
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. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Grace M @grace249538 Feb 2 boring, bad plot, confusing See more Ma N @Ma_Nu 11/09/2024 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. See more Ari V @RT59419633 10/30/2023 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. See more Emilliano Jr S @emill_santos 09/08/2023 Slow burn with A24 horror vibes. See more Jelisije J @jjosifovic 06/21/2023 A movie that could have been so much better if the pacing wasn't so awful. See more farouk b @RT21369507 10/02/2022 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. See more Read all reviews
