• Review Quotes

  • "The setting is Long Island in 1979. Lyme disease is a threat to suburban families who don't need a deer tick to break down emotionally. Even when the drama gets overcooked, Lymelife sends off sparks."—Rolling StoneRolling Stone: Review: Lymelife (April 2, 2009)

  • "Startling performances, searing dialogue and an archaeologist's sense of late '70s period detail power the violently funny Lymelife. Intense perfs by Rory Culkin and Alec Baldwin are standouts in a movie that brims with vivid supporting turns."—VarietyVariety: Lymelife Review (September 12, 2008)
