Review of Lymelife (2008) by Devin F — 22 May 2012

In a 1970s bourgeois neighborhood a naive teenager copes with his father philandering and his mercurial love interest.

I think Flixster Super Reviewer Pamela De Graff said it best: "We've seen Lymelife's somber imputation in other movies about suburban values and relationships, Lymelife's is not a pensively warm-hearted slice of life, nor merely a bleakly cynical condemnation of the American dream. It's a reasoned, dryly tongue-in-cheek indictment of yuppie hypocrisies and contradictions.".

And I liked the acting -- particularly by Keiran Culkin, who has grown up into a smarmy smart ass.

Overall, I think writing more would be redundant as I found De Graff's review to be spot on and more intelligently written than I can attempt here.
