The title of this film Little Children and the clip I'd seen for it of Kate Winslet in park with fellow mothers and their children which happens at the start of the film doesn't really sell this excellent movie. It cruises in first gear in the beginning and then gains momentum with none of the usual Hollywood stereotypical characters, plotlines and direction which most of us can see a mile off. I defy you to guess what will happen as this film changes gear and takes little twists and turns which happen in real life with very believable characters which keep you wondering what's going to happen next.
Probably the best film I've seen since Crash. Has won lots of film awards and nominations and great reviews so I went to see it based on other peoples ratings of it rather than my feeling based on the title and a film clip! Some comments on this film liken it to American Beauty but better!
