Review
From the moment the words “Little Children” were whispered in my ear, I knew this was a movie to be reckoned with. For as Mark Twain himself once said, “Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; Truth isn’t.” And truth be told, “Little Children” is a masterful blend of possibility and truth that will leave any viewer spellbound.
Focusing on the lives of several suburban families in Massachusetts, “Little Children” tells the story of how their intersecting lives are shaped by desire, temptation, and ultimately regret. No character is left unexplored in this tale of infidelity and disillusionment.
At the center of it all is Sarah Pierce (played magnificently by Kate Winslet), a stay-at-home mother who yearns for more than just the daily routine of motherhood. Her husband Richard (Gregg Edelman) seems content with their life, but Sarah can’t help but feel trapped. That is until she meets Brad Adamson (Patrick Wilson), a stay-at-home father who begins an affair with her.
Their forbidden love affair sets off a chain reaction that affects others around them – including Brad’s wife Kathy (Jennifer Connelly), a documentary filmmaker who is struggling to complete her latest project while also dealing with her husband’s infidelity.
The film’s plot unfolds slowly but surely, pulling us into its web of deceit and heartbreak. But what truly sets “Little Children” apart from other films about infidelity is its exploration of the desires and motivations behind the characters’ actions.
Each character in “Little Children” is fully realized thanks to the talented cast that brings them to life. Winslet’s portrayal of Sarah is raw and emotional – we see her desperation for something more in every gesture and expression. And Patrick Wilson brings depth to Brad’s character – he isn’t just a cheating husband but someone trying to find his way in life.
But it’s Jennifer Connelly who steals the show as Kathy. Her performance is subtle yet powerful, conveying the pain and anguish of a woman who has been betrayed by her husband. In one scene, she confronts Sarah, telling her that she will never know what it’s like to have a husband and child that love her unconditionally. It’s a heartbreaking moment that speaks volumes about the film’s themes.
The film’s score is just as haunting as its subject matter – it’s dreamy and melancholic, perfectly capturing the mood of each scene. And the cinematography is stunningly beautiful – director Todd Field expertly uses light and shadows to create a sense of intimacy.
“Little Children” was nominated for three Academy Awards in 2007, including Best Actress for Kate Winslet. And rightfully so – it’s a film that stays with you long after its credits have rolled.
At its core, “Little Children” is a cautionary tale about how our desires can lead us down a path of destruction. As Mark Twain once wrote, “Good judgement is the result of experience and experience the result of bad judgement.” And this film shows us just how true those words are.
Overall, “Little Children” is an outstanding piece of cinema that explores complex themes with skillful precision. Its message lingers long after watching and serves as a reminder to all that we must be careful what we wish for – for it may come at a great cost.
