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]

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.

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

More disturbing than thrilling, Lemming, like Alice, overstays its welcome, but does get around to a finishing kick.

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

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.

Alas! It goes on too long, lamely brushing 'Willard' and dozens of vague look-alike and was-it-a-dream scenarios.

Alas, the film relies too much on its shocks and fails to make the supernatural element at all convincing.

The film's main attractions are the Charlottes, but the price of watching their eerie psychological pas de deux is to endure muddled metaphors and goofy gadgetry.

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

The theme is hidden desire, but the trip feels like a stale museum tour of the usual psychodrama tropes -- voyeurism, ghosts, sexual fantasy, dream imagery, murder -- without the goose-bumps-on-your-brain payoff.
