For her entire life, the cult she was born into has been all that teenage Selah has known. Along with a band of similarly cloistered young women she lives seemingly unstuck in time, cut off from modern society in a remote forest commune presided over by a man called Shepherd, a controlling, messiah-like figure with a frightening dark side. But when her insular world is rocked by a series of nightmarish visions and disturbing revelations, Selah begins to question everything about her existence—including her allegiance to the increasingly dangerous Shepherd. Awash in images of primal, dreamlike dread, this provocative fable is a haunting vision of adolescent awakening and revolt.
"Malgorzata Szumowska, the same director of 'Body' and 'The Face', delivers another exquisite work that brings a hypnotic visual and dreamlike atmosphere. In this suspense, a girl raised in a female cult led by a man begins to question her teachings and her own reality. The direction of a woman in this story makes everything even more interesting - since we are conditioned to have a male vision. It is important to mention that 'The Other Lamb' has a slow pace - which matches the whole construction of the story - and this may not please everyone. However, if you want to watch a production that has a surprising climax, you have come to the right place. The protagonist Raffey Cassidy ('Tomorrowland: A Place Where Nothing Is Impossible') shows that she has matured her performance a lot and did a beautiful job."
