"Little Children"

. . . ,which stars Kate Winslet, is outstanding. I was completely surprised.

And the performance of Jackie Earle Haley (who really hadn't been heard from since The Bad News Bears and Breaking Away) as a paroled sex offender is great.

I thought it was a little dark and creepy...wife brought it home thinking it was a chick flick...boy were we ever provided a treat...I asked if she even read the back of the box. I did not think it was great, but we had to finish it to see how the stories all collided. From an artistic standpoint it probably would be considered well made, but it is definitely not a Saturday night pick me up. Albeit...the laundry room seens were great! I guess Indy Film guy would give it a A-, but I will give it a C-. By the way, I have no idea if it was an IF.

Yeah, very well done -- if a big ol' downer. Make sure you have something lighter to watch after.

Is that a bodily fluid running down his side?

Yes. Sweat. The whole story is set over a long and muggy summer. Getcher mind out the gutter, you!
