Based on the novel by Tom Perrotta, Little Children tells a story of dysfunction in quiet-town America stars Kate Winslet, Patrick Wilson, Jennifer Connelly and a perfectly cast Jackie Earle Haley. Todd Field directs, finally doing justice to himself after the debacle that was In The Bedroom (I know it won Academy Awards, but, I'm sorry, just a plain terrible, awful film).
The story here is told quietly, artfully and disturbingly as the various characters collide in the repressed world that is American suburbia. An exceptional film. Haley and Winslet should get Academy nods.
My rating 9 out of 10.
