Review of Little Children (2006) by Andys — 12 Jan 2007
An unusual mix of satire and melodrama which worked for me but might not for you if you (a) don't find the satire funny, or (b) find the plot manipulations too obvious and/or contrived, or (c) find the mix between the two tones unbalanced or grating.
I liked it a lot, above all because of the great acting which overcomes some sketchily written roles. Todd Fields's direction is smooth if still a bit heavy-handed (though a vast improvement over In The Bedroom).
Kate Winslett's American accent is the best I've ever heard from a Brit.
