Movie Review: ‘The Other Lamb’ Is A Brilliant Lesson In Depravity

I was not prepared when I pressed play and sat down to watch Malgorzata Szumowska’s The Other Lamb. From the get-go, I had a feeling of overwhelming dread as I watched the Sheppard interact with wives and children. You see, his biological daughters are also his future wives (*shudders). His favorite daughter is Selah (Raffey Cassidy), who we watch go from being a child to t a young woman who finds her own strength as she comes to see the truth about her father. I will give you a warning, there are a lot of truly disturbing things in this film including several scenes of animal sacrifice, but the most disturbing is the incest that is present from beginning to end. The only monsters depicted here are the characters themselves, reminding us of the cruelty possible within a family.
