About This Movie

So, 'Children' from 2014 is this intriguing drama that dives into the complex web of parent-child relationships. Directed by Jaro Vojtek, who usually does documentaries, it's interesting to see his shift into fiction. The pacing is quite deliberate, allowing the emotional weight of the stories to sink in. Each segment feels like a slice of life, with characters that are flawed and real. There’s a rawness in the performances that adds to the atmosphere, making you reflect on your own experiences. The practical effects are minimal but effective, focusing instead on dialogue and interaction. The film's structure, being an omnibus, lends a unique rhythm, where each story feels distinct yet connected through that universal theme of familial bonds.
