Partridge portrays David with immaculate timing and meticulous attention to detail. We feel for the character's pain, but never quite trust him. January 22, 2016 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

Partridge has a strong screen presence, but the potential power of his storytelling approach is negated when emotions get mushy in the third act. That's when we figure out that this film doesn't know exactly what it wants to say. January 14, 2016 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

"Lamb" is empathetic and untrustworthy, haunting but often unpersuasive. In the end it's hard to say what the film's point is. But it lingers in the mind. January 8, 2016 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

In the novel, Lamb is a fantasist who uses Tommie as a blank (pure) slate on which to write a new life story. Mr. Partridge never figures out how to complicate his version and its voices, or maybe doesn't want to. January 7, 2016 | Full Review…

Feeling creeped out is unavoidable, but it's an inquisitive unsettling born of a faith that people are inherently complicated, worthy of love, capable of good and yet all too often mired in well-meaning intentions that hurt more than help. January 7, 2016 | Full Review…

The film shifts from Daniel's to Tommie's point of view in a remarkably subtle fashion, altering the makeup of the story and the ways we're forced to wrestle with it. January 7, 2016 | Full Review…

Despite its bottomless empathy and measured tone, Lamb can't quite surmount the ickiness of its premise. April 12, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Hopefully Oona Laurence continues to take on intriguing roles that unequivocally challenge the capabilities of any actor, let alone a teenager; she deserves success, awards, and more December 4, 2017 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

This warm, unembellished film feels universal and timeless, but its key themes are also very timely: whether we're talking about the internal or external, hometown or country, this is a highly resonant story about displacement. September 26, 2017 | Full Review…

While the personal is political in Lamb, it's also an affecting work of art. September 18, 2017 | Full Review…

The movie is a kind of feat for Partridge as director, but it's Laurence who consistently surprises the viewer with an understanding that goes far beyond her years. January 1, 2017 | Full Review…
