Dominik Moll imbues the first half of his thriller with inklings of strangeness that are at once sinister and quietly comical. But there is, in the end, less to this film than meets the eye.
05/27/06
Top CriticThe actors are more than equal to their eccentric roles, and the film is well worth seeing as a tantalizingly cerebral and unpredictable thriller.
05/31/06
Top Criticslick, funny and unsettling, slipping between psychological thriller, absurdist farce and ghost story into an unnerving dreamscape where psychosis meets metempsychosis.
07/10/07
This spooky, quasi-sci-fi, psychological thriller is unclear about what's real and what's not -- and not in any interesting way.
08/04/06
Not really a thriller with a twist, but more an exciting, intelligent and suspenseful work with an overall quirkiness of subject matter and tone.
06/03/05
Creepy, surreal, and shocking, Lemming is a welcome antidote to the by-the-numbers summer fare clogging up our theaters.
05/19/06
More disturbing than thrilling, Lemming, like Alice, overstays its welcome, but does get around to a finishing kick.
06/16/06
Top CriticWhen Alice keeps showing up in unexpected places, you don't need music to feel the tension she creates. In the battle of the Charlotte's for uber-spooky, Ms. Rampling wins hands down.
05/26/06
It's rare that a thriller holds us in such unawareness while still completely immersing us in story and character.
05/18/06
The high quality of [Moll's] actors does not relieve the story from seeming ambitiously fudge-brained.
07/07/06
A superb cast valiantly attempts to keep the contrivances of an initially intriguing plot within the bounds of credibility and are ultimately confounded by an excess of ambiguity.
05/06/06
Alas! It goes on too long, lamely brushing 'Willard' and dozens of vague look-alike and was-it-a-dream scenarios.
05/15/06
Dominik Moll's latest gives lemmings and women a bad name.
05/10/06
Moll is exquisitely attuned to the way sound rubs up against silence, dark against light, and his shading of psychology into the supernatural is deliciously mischievous.
05/25/06
Quietly eerie, hauntingly enigmatic psychological thriller...distinguished by Moll's cool, deliberate, almost antiseptic approach to what's actually rather pulpish material.
05/28/06
Even if this film promises more than it ultimately delivers, for arguably the most excruciating dining scene in cinema history, it's worth seeing.
05/05/06
Cuts through family emotions like a laser.
