Little Children - Reviews

It’s unsettling stuff, shifting from black comedy to bleak drama and back, even punctuated by the odd moment of slapstick and all overseen by a knowing, slightly arch narrator.

There's a humane sensibility beneath the surface that's simultaneously sympathetic and fiercely judgmental.

...[the] two story threads co-exist peacefully for a while, but waiting for their inevitable coupling proves to be a stomach-churning experience, a sword of Damocles hanging over the whole movie.

...is emotionally riveting, with converging storylines and some of the best acting of the past year.

'Little Children' fortæller om forstæderne, men langt fra så fordømmende som 'American Beauty'.
