Our Children

Our Children (French: À perdre la raison) is a 2012 Belgian-French psychological drama film directed by Joachim Lafosse.

It is based on a real-life incident involving a woman (Geneviève Lhermitte) who killed her five children.

The film competed in the Un Certain Regard section at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival under the title Loving Without Reason,[4][5] where Émilie Dequenne won the Un Certain Regard Award for Best Actress.

[7] The film was selected as the Belgian entry for the Best Foreign Language Oscar at the 85th Academy Awards, but it did not make the final shortlist.

[8] The Hollywood Reporter wrote, "In one of her strongest leading roles to date, Dequenne (The Girl on the Train, Rosetta) does a remarkable job depicting Murielle’s wavering psychological states as she heads for oblivion, and an extended sequence-shot where she drives home while singing a Julien Clerc song is particularly unforgettable.
