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.

The team behind Harry, He's Here to Help is back with another deeply seductive dramatic thriller.

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.

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.

A deeply weird, extremely suspenseful and genuinely creepy thriller that deserves to be seen by as wide an audience as possible

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.
