Reviews for Lemming
Moll makes movies that look like they're inspired by Alfred Hitchcock, but feel like Luis Buñuel working in high bourgeoisie-baiting mode.

Between Rampling and the rodents (who show up en masse in one startling scene), there's enough quality to stop anyone from throwing themselves off a cliff.
05/06/06
Even by the strictest standards of odd French psychological drama, the behavior here is particularly opaque.

In every frame of this accomplished film, hell lurks beneath the dry humor and smooth, antiseptic surfaces.
05/18/05
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
It's a tale of normality invaded by pathology. But here, the danger seems less plausible, the conflict more contrived.

A transparently formal film that plays along the narrative boundary between the psychological and the supernatural.

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
The movie, which has the slightly glum perversity of early Chabrol, is a dream of betrayal.
06/07/06
Top CriticNot 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
slick, funny and unsettling, slipping between psychological thriller, absurdist farce and ghost story into an unnerving dreamscape where psychosis meets metempsychosis.
07/10/07
If Lemming doesn't necessarily work on an intellectual level, it sure does emotionally.
03/01/07
Goes well with popcorn as well as champagne.
05/18/06
It's rare that a thriller holds us in such unawareness while still completely immersing us in story and character.
