Little Children (2006) Direction: Todd Field Cast: Kate Winslet, Patrick Wilson, Jennifer Connelly, Jackie Earle Haley, Noah Emmerich, Phyllis Somerville, Gregg Edelman, Sadie Goldstein, Ty Simpkins Screenplay: Todd Field and Tom Perrotta; from Perrotta's novel Oscar Movies Recommended with Reservations Kate Winslet, Patrick Wilson, Little Children Synopsis: Suburbia, U.S.A.: A married man (Patrick Wilson) and a married woman (Kate Winslet) have an affair, while an unbalanced ex-cop (Noah Emmerich) continually harasses the local convicted sex offender (Jackie Earle Haley). [Note: Spoilers ahead.] The Pros: Little Children has an intriguing premise that feels like a cross between American Beauty and Peyton Place, with bits from Madame Bovary thrown in: Manicured American suburbs are merely a deceptively placid facade that hides a whole array of human passions, urges, neuroses, and perversions. Todd Field handles both the drama and the satire with a sure hand, and generally elicits solid performances from his cast. Kate Winslet »
