      Roger Moore Orlando Sentinel Terrific performances rescue it, from Adams' wounded exhaustion to Pais's comical confusion and Walker's furious defiance, all hurled against Morton's patient 'listening' and advice. Rated: 3/5 Jun 11, 2009 Full Review Kevin Thomas Los Angeles Times Lifelines is an insufferably over-familiar take on angst in affluent suburbia. Rated: 1.5/5 Apr 23, 2009 Full Review 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 Apr 3, 2009 Full Review 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 Apr 27, 2009 Full Review Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru A refreshingly honest, intelligent and captivating drama brimming with warmth, tenderness and razor-sharp humor. Rated: 9.5/10 Apr 2, 2009 Full Review James Wegg JWR Coming to grips with the sin of repression. Rated: 4/5 Feb 25, 2009 Full Review Read all reviews
