Lamb

About This Movie

Lamb (1986) is a quietly haunting drama that dives deep into the struggles of faith and identity. Colin Gregg’s direction brings a raw, gritty atmosphere to the tale of Michael Lamb, a priest grappling with his purpose while stuck in an Irish Reform School. The chemistry between Lamb and Eoin, a troubled young runaway, is palpable. Their escape to London has this sense of urgency, underscored by the shadow of authority pursuing them. The film has this slow burn to it, with moments that linger, allowing the viewer to feel the weight of their decisions. The performances are earnest; you can really sense the internal conflicts. It’s not flashy—more heart than spectacle, and that’s what makes it stand apart.
