Derick Martini's Lymelife, whose international rights were just picked up by Cinemavault on the eve of its Sundance debut, is one of those indie dramas at Sundance that mostly hits all the right notes. The film centers around Scott (Rory Culkin), a 15-year-old kid living in the suburbs of Long Island, pining after his long-time best friend, Adrianna (Emma Roberts) as he comes to terms with the reality that his parents' marriage is finally falling apart after years of contentious coexistence.

Excellent performances by Rory Culkin and Roberts (who's really coming into her own -- I'd love to see her do more indie work like this film) and Kieran Culkin as Scott's older brother, Jimmy, who comes home on leave from the army and ends up brawling with both the school bully and their father, anchor the film. Jill Hennessy, Alec Baldwin, Cynthia Nixon and Timothy Hutton are all solid as the adults dealing with their own suburban dramas.

And boy, can that Alec Baldwin play a jerk to perfection.

Longer review will be coming later tonight, stay tuned for more ....
