The movie makes me think about the values we all cherish, about typical family and what it's worth, maybe another perspective. I hate the town they are in, it's not the little town, it's New York - the town I have always wanted to see once for real. However, in the movie it has the connotation of being little, of having single people in and that something is wrong with you if you cannot eat up the pace the town lives with. Somehow it reminds me of Burn without reading or some other movies that deal with relationships, how to handle them, how to handle loss or a somehow corrupted theme (maybe ungrateful for the directors) - gay theme. Here the relationships revolve around lesbian women and their way of finding recognition, personal luck or happinness or something worth living in life. Something about being OK, if you are undecisive, or maybe if you don't know exactly what to do with your life, asking yourself about the steps you took, well, it gives me shivers, but with anxiety and I am totally open to this perspective. I love the way the main cast builds up the relationships and I absolutely adore short scenes the main actors have among each other. How important is raising a child together? Is it ok, if you have feelings for women, if you are a woman yourself? How about cheating someone with his best friend? Some important life questions here, I love to think about similar topics. And this is precisely why the movie is cute and worth seeing. The whole review here: http://the-movie-perspective.blogspot.com/2010/06/little-city-1997.html

this movie reminds me a lot to "Melrose Place". Everyone has something with everyone. But it's quite a good movie.

Helt grei film dette, men kunne vÃ¦rt enda bedre hadde regi og casting vÃ¦rt noe bedre. Manuset kunne med hell ogsÃ¥ vÃ¦rt gjort litt mer troverdig - San Fransisco er tross alt ikke en sÃ¥Ã¥Ã¥ liten by. Ingen "If Lucy Fell", men allikevel ikke helt bortkastet...
