Film Threat, Hollywood's Indie Voice

As a senior in college, I was fortunate enough to be forced into reading Vladimir Nabokovâ��s controversial novel â��Lolita. ...read the complete Little Children movie review at Film Threat, Hollywood's Indie Voice

ReelViews (James Berardinelli)

The rarest of movies - a literary multi-character drama. From the erudition of the voiceover narrative to the three dimensionality of the characters, Field's film is the closest it's possible to get to a book without reading one. ...read the complete Little Children movie review at ReelViews (James Berardinelli)

Rolling Stone (Peter Travers)

This unnervingly funny and quietly devastating film -- director Todd Field's first since his smash 2001 debut with "In the Bedroom" -- pulls you in like a magnetic-force field. ...read the complete Little Children movie review at Rolling Stone (Peter Travers)

Ozus' World Movie Reviews (Dennis Schwartz)

Todd Fieldâ��s follow-up to his successful but overrated debut "In The Bedroom (2001)" is a slow-paced bourgeois melodrama with a heavy nod towards "Madame Bovary." It's based on the novel by Tom Perrotta, who co-writes it with Field. ...read the complete Little Children movie review at Ozus' World Movie Reviews (Dennis Schwartz)

Every so often a film happens along that defines its times. Once of these is Little Children, in which middle America and its suburban mores and fears fall under the acerbic gaze of Todd Field, previously noted for his debut feature In the Bedroom, and...read the complete Little Children (2006) review at Boxoffice Magazine

Tiscali UK

After his scathing dissection of a marriage in crisis with In the Bedroom, director Todd Field returns with his second full-length feature, based on the novel of the same name by Tom Perrotta. While In the Bedroom walked away empty-handed on Oscar night...read the complete Little Children (2006) review at Tiscali UK

Deseret News, Salt Lake City

The movie nearly wastes some terrific performances, especially Kate Winslet's. She stars as Sarah, an unhappily married housewife who begins a tentative friendship with Brad (Patrick Wilson). A former high school football star, Brad has pretty much been...read the complete Little Children (2006) review at Deseret News, Salt Lake City

RopeofSilicon (Laremy Legel)

This is a skip. It's depressing, it's not at all what you'd expect if you'd read the book, and it's not effective if you haven't either. It doesn't stand on it's own as a form of entertainment, instead it relies on the good name of a popular book...read the complete Little Children (2006) review at RopeofSilicon (Laremy Legel)
