Would you say this movie or Little Children is Todd Fields' greatest accomplishment?

I like both, but i prefer "In The Bedroom"...

Prostitute: What the *beep* are you doing?
Johnny: I'm gonna kill a bunch of people.

Little Children was better IMO.

I love them both - a very great character study and totally compelling. But the performances of Bedroom just nails every scene. I might be biased though because I love Sissy Spacek.

Not a fan of either, but this was better filmed, acted, and it didn't go with shock value (like what Little Children did).

Life is like a beautiful melody, only the lyrics are messed up.

You serious, Dino? LC was wonderfully honest.

The critical consensus is right!

In The Bedroom: 86/100

Little Children: 75/100

Little Children wasn't as good as In the Bedroom. And after those films, his directing career went no where.

In the Bedroom hands down.
