Movie description
Actor-turned-director Todd Field follows up his Oscar-nominated drama, IN THE BEDROOM, with this ambitious adaptation of Tom Perrotta's celebrated novel. Set in the imploding minefields of modern suburbia, LITTLE CHILDREN follows several inhabitants of a small American town as they fumble their way through adulthood. Numb-to-life housewife and mother Sarah Pierce (Kate Winslet) finds an outlet for her yearning in gorgeous househusband Brad Adamson (Patrick Wilson), who is crippled with insecurity over the fact that his perfect wife, Kathy (Jennifer Connelly), is the family breadwinner. When Sarah and Brad meet at the local playground one afternoon, a passionate affair is sparked. In a further attempt to reclaim his youthful fire, Brad joins a night football league with Larry Hedges (Noah Emmerich), a former cop who has begun to harass a convicted sex offender, Ronnie J. McGorvey (Jackie Earle Haley). These troubled lives eventually collide, causing each individual to take full responsibility for their not-so-responsible actions. Adapted for the screen by Field and Perrotta and artfully photographed by Antonio Calvache, LITTLE CHILDREN is a bitingly funny, and nakedly honest, critique of middle class dysfunction. Though the cast is universally superb, it is former child actor Haley (THE BAD NEWS BEARS, BREAKING AWAY) who steals the show. After only two features, Field proves that he is a truly gifted storyteller. This film was included in the 44th New York Film Festival organized by the Film Society of Lincoln Center.

Editorial reviews
"[T]he film pulls you in like a magnetic force field."
Rolling Stone - Peter Travers (09/07/2006)

"[A] superb film adaptation of the novel by Tom Perrotta....A rigorous study of adult behavior....[The film] balances tenderness with satire."
New York Times - A. O. Scott (09/29/2006)

"[A] jolting, artfully made drama set in and around a suburban playground somewhere between AMERICAN BEAUTY and IN THE BEDROOM on America's psychic highway."
Entertainment Weekly - Lisa Schwarzbaum (10/13/2006)

"A never-better Kate Winslet goes so deep into her character you can almost feel her nerve endings....Most movies fade from the memory. This one sticks."
Rolling Stone - Peter Travers (10/19/2006)

4 stars out of 5 -- "Todd Field's second feature prickles with sterile threat and looming suburban doom....Field gathers everything into a climax that trains a brutal light on the big idea: living is easy, growing up is hard."
Total Film - Andy Lowe (12/01/2006)

"All may seem neat and tidy, but simmering beneath is a hotbead of anxiety, frustration and infidelity."
Box Office - Richard Mowe (12/01/2006)

"[A] superbly realised and wryly comic melodrama of suburban angst, anomie and adultery."
Uncut - Kate Stables (01/01/2007)

3.5 stars out of 4 -- "[O]ne of the best American films in recent memory. It is by turns disturbing and uplifting, both horrible and horribly funny, which is to say, more than a bit like real life."
Premiere - Steve Simels (04/01/2007)

4 stars out of 5 -- "[I]t's impossible not to be drawn into Field's intriguing and beautifully crafted drama."
Ultimate DVD - Natalie Braine (03/01/2007)

Little Children

On May 27th 1995, Christopher Reeve, known throughout the world for his role as Superman, was paralyzed from the neck down in a riding accident. This intimate portrait focuses on Chris' remarkable recovery of movement and his constant fight to fully regain his mobility.

Originally meant to be a three part series filmed by his son Matthew, Hope In Motion, and the subsequent documentary Choosing Hope follow Chris closely over many months of treatment and public campaigning for funds for stem cell research. Everyday aspects of his family life are combined with regular visits to a medical center, documenting his recovery beginning with the movement of a single finger.

Sadly, Chris died before his most fervent wish could come to pass. What emerges through this film is a portrait of an intelligent, determined, candid and outspoken man who was able to maintain his sense of humor in the face of adversity. His inspiring personality will shine through as you follow his unpredictable, emotional journey.

Features:
Interviews with Christopher Reeve, Brooke Ellison (Harvard Graduate Class of 2000, Author of The Brooke Ellison Story Developed for TV Movie Directed by Christopher Reeve, New York State Senate Candidate 2006, Quadriplegic Since Age 11), Jim MacLaren (Motivational Speaker, Winner of the 2005 Arthur Ashe Courage Award, Amputee and Quadriplegic), and Jesse Billauer (Motivational Speaker and Founder of liferollson.org, Top Rated Surfer, Quadriplegic)
