The myth of suburban utopia has had a rough ride over the last decade. Director Todd Field (In the Bedroom, MVFF 2001) offers a fresh but equally cynical look at that sacred land of high morality and family values where everyone is supposed to be safe, secure and perfect. The Boston suburb of Wyndam is imperiled from the very start of this shrewd dramatic narrative when a convicted sex offender moves in at 17 Woodward Court. But that's only the most obvious threat at hand. On the playground and at the town pool, other complications are brewing, as young mom Sarah (Kate Winslet) and studly stay-at-home-dad Brad (Patrick Wilson) develop a dangerously close friendship. Tensions rise steadily as Brad's wife (Jennifer Connelly) becomes suspicious, neighbors harass the potential predator in their midst and we begin to wonder who really are the little children in this story. — J. Parsont
