The mentally debilitating effect of Lyme disease is just one factor blighting a would-be commuter-belt paradise in late 1970s Long Island in this well-cast indie drama. Although the relatively low profile of the disease over here (more prevalent in the US, it's passed on by ticks from deer to humans) makes the title a bit of a puzzle, it shouldn't stop anyone appreciating this well-written ensemble piece where infidelity, adolescent yearning and suburban angst combine to powerful effect. Jimmy (an excellent Rory Culkin) harbours feelings for neighbour and best pal Adrianna (Emma Roberts), but his gruff real-estate developer dad (Alec Baldwin) is dallying with her mother (Cynthia Nixon), as Adrianna's father (Timothy Hutton) is an embittered Lyme's sufferer. Derick Martini's first feature may inhabit similar territory to The Ice Storm and American Beauty, but it's not overshadowed by them. This is thanks not only to its grown-up insights into the everyday betrayals that result in emotional carnage, but also a vivid sense of time and place and the sight of fine actors like Baldwin and Hutton getting their teeth into some quality material.
