Lamb

"Fine performances bring an intriguing complexity to this provocative tale (...) [It] should stir much debate upon its theatrical release." 

"[It] is morally and emotionally complex in a way that most films aren’t (...) Though not always successful, this is a complicated film that should cause its audience to continue to think about its characters and the actions they take." 

"[It] mostly avoids hanging labels on [the character's] bond. Sometimes this seems like a matter of good storytelling. Other times it seems like an evasion. Partridge's performance, while technically excellent and quite appealing, creates more issues (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)" 

"Beautiful and troubling (...) Partridge navigates risky material with assurance, delicacy and a deepening sense of intimacy that can turn, without warning, into complicity" 

"Partridge seems flatly fascinated by Lamb’s pathology without trying to understand its formation from environmental factors, whether related to familial or urban decay (…) Rating: ★½ (out of 4)" 

"A powerful study of a desperately lonely man, and of the girl who becomes the sounding board for his ideas about how to live a fulfilling life." 

"[I]t grips you with the fear that it’s the wrong kind of relationship you’re watching unfold. That it does so while offering a consistency of tone (...) is something of a quietly humane achievement for its director and star"
