Kate Winslet In ‘Little Children’

In Little Children, Kate plays an unattractive housewife full of disappointment. She finds excitement in an affair with Brad. He assures her that beauty isn’t everything and she nearly falls apart with gratitude. In his negative review of the film, critic Roger Ebert said that “in a story rife with implausibilities and absurdities, perhaps the most egregious is that we’re told we should accept Kate Winslet as somehow ‘unattractive.’”
