Oscar script’s Eli fodder
She stalks her lover, begins an illicit affair with her neighbor in the room next to her sleeping children and walks in on her husband masturbating with a bra strapped around his head. The character of Sarah Pierce — the protagonist of “Little Children,” played by Kate Winslet — epitomizes the dysfunction, frustration and obsession at the heart of suburban domesticity. And Sarah, it turns out, is an Eli at heart.
