Review: Little Children
An a-typical little drama this is, but strange isn’t always bad. Nor is it always good. This movie starts off with the strangest narrative (like, literally lifted from the book), and makes you wonder where this is all heading to. Then there’s the lingering feeling it doesn’t amount to anything (also due to the long running time), and in the end, it’s still puzzling as to what exactly the message was, if there’s any at all. In general, this movie has many parallels with last year’s Crash (story, build-up, finale, though a little less drama), but without any clear intent or direction. You can always go for the acting though (Kate Winslet, Patrick Wilson and Jennifer Connelly are quite sparkling it off the screen)7.
