Lymelife Reviews
In short, voyeurism hour is over - either come up with something fresh, or pick up your own keys and go back home.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | May 19, 2021
Alec Baldwin and Jill Hennessy are electrically profane as the womanizing home-builder and his botanically distracted frau.

As a girl just beginning to recognize her sexual power, [Emma] Roberts moves one step closer to adult stardom.

Lymelife captures the look and feel of a very specific era in American life.
| May 14, 2012
Shaky in spots, but rewarding overall.
Full Review | May 14, 2012
At no point did I feel bored or condescended to, and even though the ending may be overwrought, it had me gripping my chair.
| Original Score: 3/4 | May 14, 2012
The rest of the cast is splendid, including Alec Baldwin, a long way from the network executive on the 온라인카지노추천 sitcom 30 Rock.
| Original Score: 3/4 | May 14, 2012
[A] fine chronicle of disaffection, dissolution and lust on Long Island in the 1970s.
| Original Score: 8/10 | May 14, 2012
Culkin and Roberts hit the right balance of savviness and clumsiness as teenagers who are smart enough to see what their parents try to conceal.
| May 14, 2012
A slight feeling of déjà vu pervades its depiction of unhappy families. But it has a tender heart, and the imprimatur of Martin Scorsese as executive producer.
| Original Score: 3/5 | May 11, 2012
Though not particularly original, Lymelife is well acted and smart, and the Martini brothers' work is worth following.
| Original Score: 7.4/10 | May 11, 2012
Martini coasts on ambience and good song choices (some associated with the films of his executive producer, Martin Scorsese) and rallies with a refreshingly ambiguous ending.

Tthe third-act plot developments telegraph themselves well in advance.
| Original Score: 2/4 | May 11, 2012
The movie is an indie jewel; watch it shine.
| May 11, 2012
Solid, but forgettable.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 17, 2011
The film was meant to be a tear-jerker, but the only tears I encountered were the ones that I was bored to.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 26, 2011
Like The Ice Storm, Martini's story climaxes with a devastating event, but whereas the earlier film's denouement had the force of tragedy, Lymelife's ending appears overly contrived.
| Mar 10, 2011
Boasting an outstanding ensemble cast, this small-budget indie is an at-times poignant tale of family life.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 8, 2010
There's nothing remotely original about Derick Martini's saga of American suburban life in the late Seventies. It has all been done before - but Martini's first feature is so sharply written and well acted that it appears fresh as a daisy.
Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 8, 2010
Derick Martini's first feature may inhabit similar territory to The Ice Storm and American Beauty, but it's not overshadowed by them.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 8, 2010
