Mixed or average reviews - based on 9 Critics What's this?

  • Summary: Nine years after the death of her witty and artistic fiance, Laura is ensconced as a solidly upper-middle-class suburban housewife with a perfect husband and an 8-year-old son. Everything around her appears staid, distanced, established... however all is not well in suburbia. (Kindred Media Group)

  1. There's an unconvincing last-act twist, but this is the movie "Little Children" wanted to be.

    As Ruscio piles it on, he gets himself further and further away from any sense of genuine emotional truth.
  3. It's an interesting profile in self-destruction until the script becomes unhinged itself and has Laura doing things that are not so much outrageous as hilariously stupid.
