Kate Winslet stars as Sarah, an educated young suburban mother frustrated with her narrow existence, who forges a friendship with local husband and father Brad (Patrick Wilson). Both share a discontentment with life in their small commuter town, and a lack of connection with their spouses: Sarah's uncomfortable marriage to the successful Richard (Gregg Edelman) parallels Brad's frustration with his aspirational documentary maker wife, Kathy (Jennifer Connelly), and it isn't long before their friendship develops into a more complex entanglement. Meanwhile, the community is shaken by the discovery that a convicted sex offender (Jackie Earle Haley) is living in its midst. desertcart.co.uk Review Kate Winslet operates at a galaxy-class level in Little Children, Todd Field's gratifyingly grown-up look at unhappy suburbia. Winslet is magnificent, in an Oscar-nominated performance, as a stroller-pushing mother who becomes attracted to a passive househusband (Patrick Wilson). Their slow-burning infidelity (Field wisely allows time to pass in this unhurried film) is contrasted with a more sensational subplot, about a convicted pedophile (Jackie Earle Haley, also Oscar nominated) returning to the neighborhood to live with his mother (Phyllis Somerville). Field, who brought his civilized approach to In the Bedroom, uses a deliberately literary style here, including a device with a narrator who sounds as though he's sitting at our side as he reads from Tom Perotta's novel. (The narrator is a superb touch--his cultivated voice distances us from the sloppy passions of the characters.) The film's biggest miscalculation is a self-appointed neighborhood vigilante (Noah Emmerich) determined to make life miserable for the paedophile. But Wilson is appropriately nebulous, Jennifer Connelly solid as his wife, and Haley (child star of the Bad News Bears movies), as the creepy, childlike molester, found himself rediscovered after a long career layoff. There's decent acting here, but Winslet is in a zone of her own, with so much emotional honesty and subtlety of expression that she transforms a good movie into a must-see. --Robert Horton Review: Great film - Great film Review: Thought-provoking - This is a movie which I would recommend to anyone. despite its flaws, adequately enumerated by other reviewers here, the message(s) of the movie are unusual and the whole so well acted, particularly by Ms Winslet, that this is really a must-see. It is very unusual to show the life of a paedophile in such detail and the point here, in relation to all the main characters, is that it is appropriate to have empathy, sympathy even, for anyone - i.e. there's something worthwhile in all. Also, regarding the title, it struck me afterwards that the writer was postulating that none of us is really mature - each of the key characters take decisions/actions at some point here that are not those of so-called mature sensible grown-ups, but which are plausible nonetheless. A difficult to categorise movie because of the various plots and the occasional disturbing scenes (the paedophile on his date was particularly tragic), but one that is ultimately a rewarding and enjoyable watch, despite the slow pace. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000MQCBOK | | Actors | Gregg Edelman, Jennifer Connelly, Kate Winslet, Patrick Wilson, Sadie Goldstein | | Aspect Ratio | 16:9 - 1.78:1 | | Best Sellers Rank | 23,239 in DVD & Blu-ray ( See Top 100 in DVD & Blu-ray ) 7,355 in Drama (DVD & Blu-ray) | | Country of origin | Austria | | Customer reviews | 3.9 3.9 out of 5 stars (587) | | Director | Todd Field | | Is discontinued by manufacturer | No | | Language | English (Dolby Digital 5.1) | | Manufacturer reference | 5017239194696 | | Media Format | PAL | | Number of discs | 1 | | Producers | Albert Berger, Ron Yerxa, Todd Field | | Product Dimensions | 19.3 x 13.5 x 1.5 cm; 78 g | | Release date | 19 Aug. 2019 | | Run time | 2 hours and 10 minutes | | Studio | Eiv | | Subtitles: | English | | Writers | Todd Field, Tom Perrotta | ## Product Details - **Colour:** Colour - **Format:** PAL - **Genre:** Kids & Family - **Runtime:** 2 hours and 10 minutes ## Images ![Little Children [DVD] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/414pSw2qeFL.jpg) ![Little Children [DVD] - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51hMYEZJVyL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great film *by A***R on 12 July 2025* Great film ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thought-provoking *by W***E on 8 September 2007* This is a movie which I would recommend to anyone. despite its flaws, adequately enumerated by other reviewers here, the message(s) of the movie are unusual and the whole so well acted, particularly by Ms Winslet, that this is really a must-see.

The main plot is strong & develops at a good pace however there are also a couple of sub-plots which also roll along nicely. Central to them both is the theme that people find themselves in situations that they no longer enjoy but feel trapped until something happens to give them a sight of what could be. The film has an interesting commentary feature, more prevalent at the beginning, which helps the development of the story & also makes me believe it could work very well as a play. A slow burner but worth watching & gives food for thought about what people really want & settle for. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/51246006-little-children-dvd](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/51246006-little-children-dvd) --- *Product available on Desertcart Great Britain* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-04-26*
