A dysfunctional family (Jane Adams, Josh Pais) in suburban New Jersey shuffles off to see a therapist (Joe Morton).

Kevin Thomas

Los Angeles Times

Lifelines is an insufferably over-familiar take on angst in affluent suburbia.

Rated: 1.5/5

New York Post

Lifelines is a tiny movie, made for $385,000, but it strikes enough strange chords to make it resonate.

Rated: 2.5/4

Nathan Lee

New York Times

Written and directed by Rob Margolies, Lifelines starts promisingly, but soon gives way to a compressed, schematic psychodrama endemic.

Rated: 2.5/5

Pete Hammond

Boxoffice Magazine

Although its really not much more than a 94 minute therapy session for the dysfunctional family from hell, this psycho-dramedy does have something going for it, with several nicely etched performances and some pungent scenes.

Rated: 2.5/5
