Review: Trolls World Tour, Tigertail, Selah and the Spades, and The Other Lamb

The most ambitious quarantine review yet, with 4 different options to watch from home: “Trolls World Tour” “Tigertail” “Selah and the Spades” and “The Other Lamb” – too bad none of them are exceptional.

“Trolls World Tour” is a glorified technicolor animated music video with a lot of famous voices. Anna Kendrick, Justin Timberlake, Rachel Bloom, Jamie Dornan, Kelly Clarkson, Ozzy Osbourne, Sam Rockwell, Kunal Nayyar, James Corden, Kenan Thompson, Chance the Rapper, George Clinton, Karan Soni, Anderson .Paak, and Mary J. Blige star.

While I had high hopes for Alan Yang’s “Tigertail” on Netflix, I think ultimately I prefer “Tiger King.” This story of a Taiwanese immigrant should have hit home for me but ended up being more of a cliche than expected.

“Selah and the Spades” is another in the continuing line of wilder and wilder teenage stories, at least this time it involves people of color. Lovie Simone, Jharrel Jerome, Celese O’Connor, Jesse Williams, and Gina Torres star.

​Finally “The Other Lamb” is cult-ish and weird, but not weird enough. Faffey Cassidy and Michiel Huisman star.
