Little Children

CriticsCritics: 78
AudienceAudience: 7.4

In a seemingly comfortable suburb, two unhappy married parents find themselves drawn into a dangerous affair while a registered sex offender’s arrival fuels fear and outrage. Their lives intersect with those of a troubled former police officer, exposing vulnerability, temptation, judgment, and the consequences of trying to escape responsibility.

My take

You’ll like this if you enjoy morally complicated suburban dramas such as Revolutionary Road, but not for you if you want uplifting characters, a fast pace, or a neatly satisfying story.
