Reviews Counted: 47

Fresh: 33

Rated: Not Rated

Runtime: 2 hrs 9 mins

Genre: Dramas

Theatrical Release:May 19, 2006 Limited

Synopsis: Alain Getty a young and brilliant engineer and his wife Benedicte, move to a new city following Alain's work transfer. They invite Alain's new boss and his wife to dinner one evening. However the... Alain Getty a young and brilliant engineer and his wife Benedicte, move to a new city following Alain's work transfer. They invite Alain's new boss and his wife to dinner one evening. However the difference between the two couples couldn't be more extreme : on one hand the young model couple, on the other, a pair corroded by hate and resentment. This disastrous dinner and the discovery of a mysterious dead rodent in their drain marks the descent into pandemonium of their once perfect life. -- © Strand Releasing [More]

slick, funny and unsettling, slipping between psychological thriller, absurdist farce and ghost story into an unnerving dreamscape where psychosis meets metempsychosis.

If Lemming doesn't necessarily work on an intellectual level, it sure does emotionally.

A cross between a psychological and supernatural thriller, the film is intriguing, baffling and often confusing

If you're content to let dream logic take over, a lot can be gleaned from this odd, darkly funny meditation on life, death, love and revenge.

Holds enough interest throughout to keep you entertained -- unless you're afraid of mice.

… wears out its eerie mood with little to justify dragging it out for more than two hours.

Dominik Moll's masterfully cast psychological thriller Lemming crackles with tension; its story keeps going off to unexpected places as we watch breathlessly, unable to look away.

This spooky, quasi-sci-fi, psychological thriller is unclear about what's real and what's not -- and not in any interesting way.

It's a tale of normality invaded by pathology. But here, the danger seems less plausible, the conflict more contrived.

...an intriguing head game from a talented director who needs to solidify his ideas with a bit more substance before he can become truly great. The cast clicks and collides in all its configurations

Even by the strictest standards of odd French psychological drama, the behavior here is particularly opaque.

The high quality of [Moll's] actors does not relieve the story from seeming ambitiously fudge-brained.
