10 for acting, 8 for script, 6 for director

The performance of the actors did rescue the somewhat lopsided plot setting.

Kate has indeed performed at the best level at present. The role of a housewife is easy to break the pot, and it is difficult to grasp it well. The most difficult thing is that she plays the increasingly tired look of a young woman, without the usual literary accent and narcissism (such as Hour. The one in the middle, I thought it was still a bit dramatic); golden hair and thick black eyebrows, I really admire the director can come up with such a way to express the embarrassment that dreams and reality are out of tune.

The actor is the one who played Hard Candy, I think he is a little lacking, not as good as his performance in Hard Candy.

The most wonderful performance should be dedicated by the pedophile mother, especially the scene where she carefully arranged a blind date for her son, from the carefully considered words in the newspaper before, to the glimpse outside the window waiting for her son to come back in the middle of the night, seeing his son being almost taken from him by others. The thrilling sound of the door closing after being thrown from the car was heart-wrenching... I was also shocked with her.

Maybe the little children in the title also includes the old mother's affection for her son. In the eyes of parents, children will always be forever, no matter how old they are. It is little children, especially when they are on guard around, criticizing or even attacking the world, the mother's defense is even more sad, futile but no turning back.

The overall feeling is that, like American Beauty and Crash, it is a prominent film in the group, but as the little title of the film suggests, to be a smaller Jiabiyu, the actors play to such a degree in a small space to save some plot setting problems, For example, the final appearance of the policeman who always intruded on the pedophile family was a bit abrupt, the return of the protagonist was too sudden, the exchange of different scenes was not as smooth as that of American beauties, and the dramatic conflict was weaker. The only achievement is Kate's increasingly mature acting skills I finally have to admit, but Oscar may not be so important to Kate, I guess, she has always been like a wild crane, I envy~

Little Children quotes

  • Narrator: Sexual tension is an elusive thing, but Kathy had pretty good radar for it. It was like someone had turned a knob to the right, and the radio station clicked in so loud and clear it almost knocked her over. Once she became aware of the connection between them, it seemed impossible that she'd missed it before.

  • Brad Adamson: [talking about his wife] She makes documentaries.

    Sarah Pierce: Oh, like Michael Moore?

    Brad Adamson: Like PBS.
