little children

Kate Winslet redeems herself in this movie about the disappointments of self and marriage and the power of children to guide adults' lives, for better or for worse. Patrick Wilson does a great job of being hot and Jennifer Connelly is beautiful and aloof as a successful working mother. It was a relief to see this at the Angelika in New York, where no one answered their cell phone during the movie and there were only previews, not commercials, before it started.
