Sarah and Brad connect, a respite of adult companionship at the pool. Ronnie and Larry have their demons.

Leave your thoughts about Little Children.
| Ebert & RoeperRichard RoeperThis is a pitch-perfect slice of dark suburban life. |
| Contra Costa TimesMary F. PolsThe real force of the movie is its compassion, which is so all encompassing as to be almost religious in nature. Field doesn't turn away from anyone's flaws, and he's always multidimensional in his viewpoint. |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSallePerrotta and Field succeed, not by guessing, but by knowing this world. They understand it enough to see it with cold precision -- and to approach it, at times, with disarming warmth. The characters aren't types, but people. |
| Internet ReviewsSteve RhodesOne of the very best movies of the year, Little Children is a gripping romantic tragedy. |
| tonymedley.comTony MedleyAn honest look at infidelity and its ramifications. Clearly one of the best of the year with multiple Oscar-caliber performances, especially by the brilliant Kate Winslet. |
| Aisle SeatMike McGranaghanLittle 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. |
| Rochester Democrat and ChronicleJack GarnerLed by illicit passions, the characters cross paths in unpredictable and shocking fashions, as Little Children builds to an astonishing finale. There's not a bad performance in the film, and Winslet, Haley and Emmerich are especially brilliant. |
| Richmond Times-DispatchMike WardLittle Children casts a bizarre light on people who seem to be such normal Americans that they could be extras in a Chevy commercial. |
| Nolan's Pop Culture ReviewMichael A. SmithIs Ronnie the "good boy" his mother begs him to be, or is he really the monster people believe he is. That you can never really tell is a testament to Haley's talent. |
| Milwaukee Journal SentinelDuane DudekA compelling snapshot of the suburbs as a hamster-like habitat that is not unlike high school: a place where individuality is emasculated, freedom is an illusion and youthful innocence only lasts as long as it takes to come to your senses. |
