Emily and Phil continue their “Films of the Todds” mini series, spotlighting the work of Haynes, Phillips, Solondz, and Field, with a deep dive into Todd Field’s haunting suburban drama Little Children (2006). Joining them is writer and producer Libby Hill, who brings sharp insight into the film’s complex characters, morally murky relationships, and the atmosphere of quiet desperation that runs through Field’s vision of American suburbia.


Together, they explore the unforgettable performances by Kate Winslet, Patrick Wilson, and Jackie Earle Haley, the film’s commentary on judgment and repression, and how Little Children solidified Field’s reputation as one of the most nuanced directors of the 2000s. Whether you’re revisiting the film or watching for the first time, this conversation sheds light on why Little Children remains one of the decade’s most quietly powerful films.
