L.I.E. 23 years old

On the Long Island Expressway there are lanes going east, lanes going west, and lanes going straight to hell.

L.I.E.

In this biting and disturbing coming-of-age tale from writer-director Michael Cuesta, life is bittersweet along the L.I.E., also known as the Long Island Expressway, as suburban teen Howie Blitzer learns all too clearly. In the space of a week, he loses nearly everything and everyone he knows and is left to navigate his adolescence virtually unsupervised.
