"Lemming" is a French psychological thriller directed by Dominik Moll and released in 2005.

The plot follows a young engineer named Alain Getty and his wife Bénédicte, who become embroiled in a series of bizarre events after a small rodent known as a lemming appears in their home.

As the story progresses, we are confronted with increasingly absurd and confusing situations as the characters struggle to understand what is happening around them.

"Lemming" tries to be an intriguing psychological thriller, but in my humble opinion, it remains a little... boring and confusing.

Some critics may have praised the film for its eerie atmosphere and visual style, but it just didn't grab me.

However, the work of its actors - Charlotte Gainsbourg, Laurent Lucas, Charlotte Rampling and André Dussollier, among others - should not be underestimated.

It was presented at several festivals and won some awards in 2005: Cannes Film Festival: Nominated for the Palme d'Or (Best Film), César Awards: Nominated for Best Supporting Actress (Rampling), European Film Awards: Nominated for the Audience Award for Actress (Rampling) and at the 38th International Film Festival of Catalonia - Sitges 2005 it was Nominated for Best Film.
