What to Expect: Set in 1970s Long Island, a darkly comic coming-of-age drama on the dangers of the American dream seen through the eyes of a 15-year-old boy, surrounded by anger, suburban malaise, rocky marriages and messy affairs -- all against the paranoid backdrop of a Lyme disease outbreak.
What Caught Our Eye: The effortlessly searing Alec Baldwin and two of the talented Culkins together in a potbolier, '70s dark comedy -- done.
