Todas as Pequenas Coisas

I watched this on Amazon streaming movies, primarily because it has Molly Ringwald who I have enjoyed since her her teen movies of the 1980s. Here she plays the mom and was about 50.

It is about a New York City family, mom, dad, and two teenage boys, but the movie is mostly shown from the perspective of the older boy. It might be considered his coming-of-age story. The title contains the words "small moments" because that is really what it is about, all those small moments that end up forming your view of the world and molding your eventual adulthood.

Mom and dad are having some middle age marriage crises, the teen boys are dealing with puberty the best they can, the older teen gets very infatuated with a married 30-ish woman who often rides the same bus, while a girl his age at school is taking a keen interest in him.

Yes this is a small movie devoid of any real "action" but as a relationship movie works very well.

What's not to love about. Real... Great writing, acting and directing. Can't believe I had never heard of it. Stumbled across it and am very pleased!

Who hangs out with their younger brother?

Molly says move!

Dr. Rogers is a bit aggressive with the saw.

Don't touch her head.

Can you be more obvious?

What?! Was that a dream? Is she that out of it?

Snaps?

Get your hand out of your pants pervs.

Eating paper seems appropriate. Mom could have gotten non pink weights if she wanted him to use them.

Idiots sons getting mom a card. That's more than most.

"I love wool"... I've said that a thousand times myself.

Love little brothers answering the door.

That's a lot of pasta.

Nice job eatery scouting dad.

That is sad eating.

If you date her you'll now end up eating brussel sprouts all the time.

That is a lot of plastic wrap.

Dirty dirty steps.

Annoying start but ended okay.

Truly a collection of vaguely related moments.

I would like to see more of Howie and Lindsey.

I enjoyed this little indie film. good cinematography..very de ja vous of teenage years, family...crushes etc. if you expect a all guns blazing high budget youll be disappointed..but thats is what makes the film. There hasnt been one film which jemima kirke has starred in that im disappointed in (she does remind me of vahina giocante)...yes she is raw...and the 'realness' can be uncomfortable for some...but she is also real and unpolished..which is attractive. good performances from all. i hope jemima stars in more little indie films ... check out her others if you are a fan of indie and do not expect special effects..cgi...and over dramtising...this is just real life.

This movie is hardly going to be seen! It is one of those that no one has heard of & like me you may come across it by accident (like me). I had no idea about any of the cast, so was iver the moon when Molly Ringwald's name came up!. The movie itself is a slice of life drama mapping out how important little points in your life that will stay with you forever. I personally really enjoyed it as this is right up my street (I hate CGI, special fx & blockbuster movies) give me a little independent cinema any day!
