{movie} little children (2006)

In director Todd Field's titillating tale, the lives of several adult suburbanites, who have yet to surpass adolescence, intersect on the streets of their small town in unexpected ways. While on-the-go wife and mother Kathy (Jennifer Connelly) is preoccupied with her career, Sarah (Kate Winslet, in an Oscar-nominated role), a mother who does not know how to mother, is busy having an affair with stay-at-home dad Brad (Patrick Wilson) -- Kathy's husband.

ireviewnetflix.com rating: **** (Actually 3.5) I love these kinds of movies where there's so much going on you can't help but stay tuned the whole way through. The cast in wonderful in their various roles and the script has quite some depth. My only gripe is that it was a bit plodding at times. But I did enjoy almost all of this movie.
