Little Children (2006)

Synopsis: Sarah has a Master's in Literature but spends her days taking care of her little daughter. Her husband works in marketing and is a porn addict. Brad has a law degree but has failed the bar exam twice, so he is in charge of looking after his little son while his wife works as a doctor. Sarah and Brad meet at the playground and start an affair. Ronnie is a convicted child molester who just got out of jail. Larry is an ex-cop who is distributing warning leaflets with Ronnie's photo. Brad meets Larry and is invited to play in the football team.
Appraisal: There is a good sequence in this film, namely when Ronnie the child molester is in the swimming pool and is recognized by the people there. It is well orchestrated to achieve a sense of bizarreness. They should perhaps release that sequence as a short film and burn the rest of the negative, because apart from that sequence the film is just pitiful.
Rating: 10
