Nicely done
Finally, a movie that doesn’t take itself too seriously while tackling some serious issues. As an American living in Canada I see the condition of my home country today and this film feels like a prelude, or a humorous set up to the state of the country today. It seems this is unintentional as the screenplay was written during better economic times, but it sure is a strange coincidence. The astute observation of how many Americans become consumed with success that failure becomes inevitable. And the story is told with a raw unpretensiousness that doesn’t insult you. It unfolds in a credible fashion, parents bickering, kids flirting, a brutal revenge on a bully then turns as serious as it is funny. the line between serious drama and hilariouis humor is so finely balanced that it’s almost surgically seamless. I like when a movie keeps me off balance and in Lymelife you never quite know if you’re going to kicked in the stomach or laughing hysterically. According to IMDb the film was made in 22 days for 1 million dollars. This I don’t believe. It just doesn’t seem possible. But then again, you can argue that the time and money constraints forced some very clever film-making. I especially enjoyed the cuts to little model homes with little plastic people and the characters being seen in reflections, I’m assuming the idea is the people on screen are reflections of who we are. But I don’t know because it’s not really spelled out. I’m just using my imagination. I recommend seeing it for yourself. I may even go back again for one scene in particular between the great Timothy Hutton and the brilliant Alec Baldwin. their only time on screen together and it is not only the best scene in the film but one of the most memorable scenes in recent film history.

Crafty
My first time at Sundance and this was the first movie I got to see. I saw three all together. Next year I will be more prepared because all 3 films I was on the wait list line. There were 2 I didn’t even get in to. This was the best film for me. Not because of the actors; they were all stupendous. But because of the story line. I actually have Lyme disease, not as bad as Timothy Hutton’s character in the film, but it is an unpleasant way to live. Even when treated properly. And Timothy Hutton nails it. But again I fell for this film for the crafty story line. I love it when you think you know what’s going to happen in a movie and wind up completely wrong. As soon as the movie started I was convinced for a half hour that Rory Culkin was going to get Lyme disease and that is not the case. There’s even a scene where he is bitten by a tick but it turns out to be safe and the filmmaker makes it comical. I’m not for a movie about someone who has Lyme disease. I think that would be boring as hell. So I was surprised and elated when it became clear that the film was about many things. The story line comes from the characters and the choices they make or have made. Up until the very end the audience is left in an almost manic state of suspense. I kept wondering what was going to happen next all the way through the movie meanwhile continuing to laugh with these characters. I laughed in Adventureland, the other movie I saw, but not like this. I laughed during this because I didn’t see certain things that I won’t give away coming. It’s a unique movie with one hell of an ending. You are left with a mixed feeling of sadness and happiness, and not in a contrived forced way. The film stayed with me for days after the festival ended. It is very entertaining and stunning. There are beautiful shots and great music. And there’s Alec Baldwin! I am a big fan of his and it was a pleasure to see him away from 30 rock and in a movie. He steals this movie and not because he’s funnier than anyone else. In fact he isn’t. The Culkin Brothers are way funnier. But Baldwin does something here that is special. All of the characters are very well rounded and get to play out different sides of their characters’ personalities and vulnerabilities. But no one does it with the gusto that Baldwin does. He’s happy, focused, frustrated, furious (of course), yes funny too, but he’s also sad and very vulnerable in a way that only Alec Baldwin can do. I can see why all these great actors signed on to this low budget affair. It’s a relatable story told by very crafty filmmakers who make the actors the stars of the movie.
