Little Children

Todd Field’s “Little Children” charts the intersecting lives of a disillusioned housewife and a lonely husband from separate marriages, both ensnared by their unfulfilled desires. Their paths cross with a registered sex offender and a former police officer now adrift, each grappling with their own private hells of disillusionment and temptation in a suburban milieu where the veneer of normalcy thinly conceals profound disquiet.
