Customer Reviews of Little Children
chillin Little Children is a tale of infidelity, disfunction, loneliness and the love-hate relationship some folks have with a certain male body part. It also features a gaggle of suburban housewives who sit on a park bench and dish dirt. In other words, it's a "Chick Flick," which is not necessarily a bad thing, as I appreciated a good emasculation as much as the next guy. <

>What separates this film from the herd are the performances of Kate Winslet and Jackie Earl Haley. Winslet convincingly portrays a passionate soul stuck in a dull routine, and Haley creates a character who is creepy and terrifying, but entirely human. Whenever an audience can feel sympathy for a deranged pervert, you know you're witnessing something extraordinary. So despite the fact that my little General hid in the foxhole until the end credits rolled, I say brew some herbal tea, microwave a bag of popcorn, paint your toenails, and enjoy "Little Children."
There's no kidding around in an `apparently' cozy suburban neighborhood.
I have to say that while in some ways it was a disturbing story; it was also very touching in a lot of ways. The first thing one will notice about the film will be the mood set via the lighting, and then of course the narrator Will Lyman, who is often used in documentaries but at times can be annoying. As a viewer you are immediately drawn into this storybook like atmosphere in a non-traditional storybook sort of setting and the quirkiness and underlying humor keeps you hooked.

>I also felt these actors had such depth and character, either you could relate or want to speak too and have some sort of relationship with. "Little Children" overflows with meaningful lives. You will come to fine out everyone struggles in this slice of modern suburbia. Sarah (Kate Winslett) is a housewife and a mother who has lost a little something in her life, passion, while her husband (Gregg Edelman) is messing around on the internet; she meets the "prom king" of the block, Brad, and has a deep passionate affair with him. But there is a problem, Brad (Patrick Wilson) is also married with a child as well, but their affair and love is too strong to ignore when they realize that they are what were missing in each other's lives, or are they just a fantasy they needed to fulfill? There is another character in this film named Ronnie (Jackie Earle Haley), who had a horrible reputation after exposing himself to a minor and is snubbed by the committee, but the only love of his life is his mother (incredibly talented Phyllis Somerville) who is constantly trying to get an ex cop harasser (Noah Emmerich) off her son's back.

>This film had some terrific performances; I was completely convinced by everyone, particularly Kate Winslet and Patrick Wilson, who made a wonderful couple. The support cast, though great, didn't have a lot to work with, particularly Jennifer Connelly, as Brads wife, who did well with what she had. The children were effective and very cute. I was also very impressed by the brave perspective director Todd Field took towards sexual deviants who have served their time, showing that they are unduly victimized for almost the rest of their existence. In fact, the storyline between Ronnie and Larry, and the small offshoots, were the best part of the film, and very well done.

>"Little Children" is an incredibly touching film; the ending was so beautiful and really brought true closure to the story. This is one of the best recent American films of our time, I would highly recommend it.

not for little children....
A lot can be said that's positive about this odd little film. The "70's style Euro soft porn narration" popping up throughout this film is tension filled. The acting by everyone is impeccable. Its like "looking in a mirror and seeing what you are not supposed to see"...taking place in today's suburban America.

>Since I am "Capt. Freaky", the infamous movie critic of anything sexually provocative...this film fell way short of being erotic or sexual. There were some (mild) sex scenes with Winslet showing a butt cheek or a boob here and there....but this was barely a "R" rated film in my opinion. So don't rush out to buy this DVD if you are looking for "a naked Kate Winslet porking" in every scene. If you are looking for a great modern movie masterpiece, something that cut's to the bone in its accurate portrayal of today's suburban life...this is the film to see.

>Both Kate Winslet and Jennifer Connelly have lost so much weight and possibly have even had face lifts or "work" done to them now, they are hardly recognizable! I think Hollywood can be tough on these 30-something women who are told to keep up with the Lindsey Lohan's etc...out there...those anorexia gals who don't eat etc.

>I was feeling sorry for everyone in this film. But mostly for myself, there were no great sex scenes for the Capt. Its especially unfortunate when I was mislead by reviews to think that there would be! :>(

<
>On other levels its a great film however....very compelling and tension filled.

>It would have been given 5 stars if the sex with Kate was hotter....and we could have used somebody pounding a nude Jennifer Connelly as well....but nothing close to that ever happend either!
