(1 - 39) of 39 OFCS Rating: 74% Fresh Page   1   A "A wonderfully impulsive, engrossing journey of lustful temptation and an engaging snapshot of fixation."   OhmyNews.com   Brian Orndorf 3.5/5 "may not be the great follow-up we wanted after In the Bedroom, but it still verifies that the skill he showed there is no fluke"   Filmcritic.com   Chris Cabin "If Little Children is pedantic and sometimes smug in its judgments, it is also painful."   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs 3.5/4 "Hypnotic in its appeal, devastating in its approach, ruefully acted and bravely narrated. One of the year's best."   rec.arts.movies.reviews   David N. Butterworth C+ "A slow-paced bourgeois melodrama."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz "'Little Children' sometimes trivializes what deserves serious treatment."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Donald J. Levit 7/10 "predstavlja upravo ono %u0161to bi "ozbiljni" holivudski film trebao biti"   Index.hr   Dragan Antulov 2/4 "It is only once the end credits have begun to roll that you step back, process what you have seen, and leave dissatisfied."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman "The unrestrained (and rather excellent) trailer for Todd Field's Little Children would have us believe that the Whore of Babylon (possibly Kate Winslet) is coming for us on NJ Transit, with Pandora's Box in hand."   Slant Magazine   Ed Gonzalez 4/5 "Un drama inteligente, tenso y reflexivo sobre la insatisfacción, el deseo, la infidelidad y las perversiones de un puñado de habitantes suburbanos. Excelente dirección y elenco."   Uruguay Total   Enrique Buchichio B+ "Presenting sunny suburbia as having a dark side is not a new tactic, but Fields and company present this grim, smirking fable with refreshing ingenuity."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 3/4 "This is a story that cuts through lost youth, actual youth and youth suspended through psychosexual disorders that mentally draw such people to their own kind."   eFilmCritic.com   Erik Childress B- "Compelling in the way it explores the notion that adults always cruelly use children for their own ends."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov 3/4 "Provides a taut commentary on hypocrisy, human interaction, and the lies we tell ourselves..."   Cinema Crazed   Felix Vasquez Jr. 3/4 "Atmospheric in moodiness and sporting an underlying chilliness, Little Children resonates with a convincing sense of pathos in desperation and bewilderment."   Movie Eye   Frank Ochieng A- "Beautifully crafted, sharply funny and emotionally piercing, all at once."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 5/5 "One of the most original and nuanced suburban dramas ever to grace the screen; it explores the complexity and intensity of yearning."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 3.5/4 "The main story deals with Sarah and Brad, but the other characters are given existences of their own, which is rare in motion pictures, and Little Children is richer for it."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 4/4 "Relentlessly picks at scabs of domestic bliss that conceal sorrow, betrayal and futile fulfillment."   Palo Alto Weekly   Jeanne Aufmuth 7/10 "There's something about the frustrations of middle class citizens trapped in suburbia that seems both profound and profoundly trivial, and that's reflected in the tone."   Window to the Movies   Jeffrey Chen 7/10 "A great movie that misses the mark a little, but provides plenty of drama, depth, entertainment value and questions to ponder."   JoBlo's Movie Emporium   JoBlo 6/10 "...a flawed work that sparkles only sporadically."   DVDTown.com   John J. Puccio "Former actor Phillips hits all the right notes as director, never allowing the characters to turn drama into melodrama."   Light Views   John Larsen "This should be an Oscar contender across the board."   Planet Sick-Boy   Jon Popick 2.5/4 "Little Children is a fable, complete with a full throated narrator and Aesopesque moral. It teaches its lesson almost like one that would be taught to children - with extreme scenarios and exaggerated characterizations."   Bangitout.com   Jordan Hiller 4.5/5 "The leads are self-delusional, secretive, dependent, nakedly desperate at times, and all fascinating."   Cinerina   Karina Montgomery 3.5/4 "Kate Winslet is damn hot. That, and just about the best actress in film today."   Montreal Film Journal   Kevin N. Laforest A- "Besides Winslet, the actor most deserving of Oscar recognition is Jackie Earle Haley as the despised Ronald James McGorvey."   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford "It had me at hello... and kept me for a long time, and then lost me in its final moments."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 4/4 "Little Children is neither a sitcom nor a melodrama. Instead, it feels like real life, inhabited by real people with real problems. If this story actually happened, this is exactly how it would go down."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan 1.5/4 "In requiring only passivity from its audience, whom it shovel-feeds faux-erudite lessons, it's the Academy Award-baiting version of Don't Ask, Just Tell cinema."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager 5/5 "O filme de Todd Field ilustra nosso eterno despreparo para lidar com as grandes questões da vida ou mesmo com nossos menores impulsos."   Cinema em Cena   Pablo Villaca 4.5/5 "It strikes such a strongly resonant chord that it's often difficult to watch, but we can't turn away."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline A "An honest film with believable characters that does not depend on arbitrary or unlikely plot developments to achieve dramatic tension."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten 2/5 "Little children wake and listen"   JWR   S. James Wegg 3.5/4 "Expertly juggling the film's quicksilver shifts in tone from pitch-black comedy to domestic drama to emotionally acute character study, Field directs with an assurance that belies his relative inexperience behind the camera."   Reel.com   Timothy Knight "Click here to see review"   Wolf Entertainment Guide   William Wolf 2.5/5 Read review   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick 2/4 Read review   Big Picture Big Sound   Joe Lozito  (1 - 39) of 39 OFCS Rating: 74% Fresh Page   1
