    It's not about quantity... Actor turned acclaimed writer/director Todd Field has only made 3 features in 25 years, but all are certified bangers. Together, films have amassed 14 Oscar noms & feature dazzling star turns. 01 In the Bedroom 06 Little Children 22 Tar Happy Birthday, 2/24. #filmsky 📽

    This week on @podcastlikeits The 2000s @emilystjams.bsky.social and I talk Todd Field’s underrated film Little Children with @libbyhill.bsky.social! We discuss the book, it’s anemic release and it’s incredible cast. Great movie!

    Tom Perrotta's packed some heavy hitters (my personal favorite was Little Children - the book and film). Ghost Town is quiet and subtle so far, small parts slowly coming together. Barry the cat is enjoying it too. @tomperrotta #booksky #writesky #writingcommunity #readsky

    I remember when the movie Little Children came out, which is about a neighborhood level moral panic about a local sex offender, I was kind of like "why is this a movie?" about it. It just didn't seem like a thing people I knew in real life were worked up about. And then, Pizzagate.

    i could never stop thinking about Will Lyman narrating the 2006 film Little Children, so disregarding the no-so-great for everyone ending, his deadpan delivery is definitely for me

    Of course it has literary merit. I'm simply talking about plot-driven (far easier to adapt to film) vs prosey (difficult to adapt to film, unless you decide to include some kind of omniscient narrator to literally read the best bits, a la Little Children).

    The most “Matt” movie covered thus far on the podcast; a sharp looking morally nebulous act-athon, 2006’s Little Children has been criminally under-appreciated for far too long.

    This weekend I saw LITTLE CHILDREN, a wildly effective film about the insane own goals and self degradations we run on ourselves when we get into self serving righteous fervors about “protecting children.” It is somehow more hard hitting today than it was 20 years ago

  • Forgotten Great Film Performances @performances.bsky.socialBluesky · Jul 13, 2025

    Noah Emmerich - 📽️ Little Children (Todd Field, 2006) Field’s “satirical melodrama” is full of outsized performances. But Emmerich’s all-consuming rage and harassment toward his predator neighbor (an Oscar-nominated Jackie Earle Haley) feels real and raw. His obsession is confounding, sad, and lost.

    It's actually been a pretty strong week. I've been checking out some classics that had passed me by. Dog Day Afternoon is perfect, obviously, but Todd Fields second film, 'Little Children,' was a nice surprise.

    Just unobtrusively butting in as someone who thinks the last paragraph of Little Children is some of the finest writing of the 21st century to say that the movie is excellent as is Kate Winslet in it.

    National Lampoon had a bit about movie casting that went like this: You want [Actor A]. You'd settle for [Actor B]. You get [Actor C]. Patrick is a solid Actor B, sometimes rising to Actor A. (I loved him in Little Children, for instance).

  • Therefore Horror 📀🎃🍿 @thereforereview.bsky.socialBluesky · Mar 31, 2025

    I think Winslet should have won for Little Children instead of the The Reader. Also, I loved it then but I know people hated it but it's fascinating how every movie is basically trying to look like 300 these days.

    Year of Winslet Decent movie and similar to the novel. Everyone behaves in bad ways. What it did was inspire me to read MADAME BOVARY, which is a really really good book and better than this book. #yearofwinslet #katewinslet #filmsky #littlechildren #toddfield boxd.it/ejEB1D

    Oh yeah. It is really quite brilliant. The novel that it was adapted from was written by Tom Perrota, who also wrote Little Children, an excellent, early 2000s film adapted by Todd Field (In the Bedroom, Tar).

    Off my earlier discussion of the possibilities of THE CHILDREN OF THE CORN concept, here is a movie about killer kids and religious fervor done right. SUFFER, LITTLE CHILDREN. An 80's U.K. SOV horror about a mute little girl with supernatural powers taking control of a boarding school.

    Ugh. Tried to relax watching a movie and 2006's Little Children may not have been the best choice, a man who could never be a cop again said "What am I gonna do, drive a forklift at the store?" I feel called because I drive a forklift at the store LMAO.

    Suffer, Little Children has a lot of issues as a film but the music is absolutely incredible throughout, I've grooved so freakin hard watching this little shot-on-vhs curio, and also sometimes has some sound design choices that are like David Lynch if he just had a 4 track recorder to work with.

    Little Children is really slept on as an insane movie that could never be made today. plot A is about Patrick Wilson cheating on Jennifer Connolly (!!) with Kate Winslet (!!) and everyone feeling angst about it. too boring to make into a movie now, for starters

    The reward is supposed to be seeing all of that play out, leading to an ending that's both surprising and inevitable, but that doesn't happen because it's an Evil Dead movie, they're all gonna get deadite-ified. Little Children doesn't work if Patrick Wilson deaditeifies during the dinner scene.

    If it's any consolation, he couldn't get a film project off the ground for fifteen years between Little Children and Tár, with at least half a dozen unrealized efforts in that period, and made ends meet directing commercials.
