Metascore®Generally favorable reviews Based on a weighted average of all critic review scores.
A sample of reviews from critics across the country.
The movie, which has the slightly glum perversity of early Chabrol, is a dream of betrayal, with the squirmiest attack-of-nature tableau since Willard.

The acting is serviceable and primarily of the stare-until-you're-uncomfortable variety, although Rampling is much more than that: She's a classic screen temptress with the aura of a melancholy spider.
Exhilaratingly anxious, Dominik Moll's new film Lemming charts familiar territory but does it with gravity and panache.
Spooky, intellectually titillating and darkly funny picture is definitely the kind of film where the less you know going in, the better.
Lemming does possess a mordant humor as it watches characters spin out of control. But the payoff is slight.
The second half of the movie squanders suspense and momentum, solving its riddles by deflating them.
