Young and full of life, Murielle has a promising future ahead of her when she meets and falls head over heels for Mounir. A wedding soon follows, and the happy couple quickly set about preparing to make a family. However, with family come ties, and none come as tight as that between Mounir and his adoptive father. As Murielle continues to bring new life into the family, frictions between Mounir and Doctor Pinget reach boiling point. Helpless to extract her husband and children from the wealthy nest that Doctor Pinget has provided for them, Murielle is drawn into an unhealthy family dynamic. There is only one way out of this nightmare, and for Murielle all sense of reasoning begins to abandon her.

Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
At once beautifully realized and brutally uncompromising ...
– Manohla Dargis,
New York Times,
1 Aug 2013
fresh:
Our Children was inspired by a real-life Belgian tragedy, but director Joachim LaFosse has built that news item into his own micro-portrait of coercion dipped in kindness.
– Ella Taylor,
NPR,
2 Aug 2013
fresh:
There is no whodunit here -- the horror is plain in the opening shots -- and the how is presented with great restraint, but the why remains veiled and mysterious long after the film has ended.
– Anthony Lane,
New Yorker,
5 Aug 2013
fresh:
This is a taut psychological study, based on a true story, of the complexities of personal power relationships that begins with the kind of shattering revelation that would be the conclusion of most films.
– Kenneth Turan,
Los Angeles Times,
8 Aug 2013
fresh:
It's an interesting way to tell a story and a devastating journey, particularly since it's based on a real-life incident.
