Little Children

"A penetrating look at suburbia and its flawed individuals with an unflinching yet humane eye."

In many of the reviews I read before watching this film I saw that there was a comparison with American Beauty. I can see some similarities between the two films but I feel that there is a huge difference in the the characters. In AB the characters were empty and probably did not seem like anyone that you might know. In this film I could relate to a little bit of something in all of the characters. Some criticized it for having a yuppie backdrop but I feel that unfair. I think what made the film especially unique is the pacing. While the movie is a drama / dark comedy it had a bit of a hypnotic pacing that made it feel as though it was a thriller. I think the narration helped in this sense in that the director did not have to spend scenes telling you what the actors were thinking. follow me at https://IHateBadMovies.com or facebook IHateBadMovies
