Selah was born into a cult of women led by a single male "sheperd" and is beginning to feel growing doubts about everything she has known her whole life.
'The Other Lamb' is an artistic drama that gives life to a powerful metaphor about the oppression caused by patriarchal society on the female spirit. The film is well made, visually impressive, with wide photographic frames, but also very challenging and not for sensitive eyes, and the main heroine is played with care and much art by the young Raffey Cassidy. However, in spite of all that and its similarities to the older The Witch, this film would have worked better and more efficiently as a short.
