It avoids the big confrontation or grand statement; doing so allows it to be an effective, if somewhat uneventful, study of the Brooklyn bubble effect. Read full review

Little Boxes has good intentions if not the subtlest delivery. Read full review

Little Boxes doesn’t manage to summon as much unique insight into prejudice as screenwriter Annie Howell and director Ron Meyer probably expected to achieve. But what keeps their movie watchable is that Lynskey, Ellis and Jackson are completely believable as a loving family unit. Read full review

Despite the contrived drama surrounding it, this is a refreshingly uncynical portrait of familial strife. Read full review

While racist slights remain unfortunately common, Little Boxes doesn't exactly use them to illuminate the nuances of suburban life. Read full review

Meyer aims to emulate the jagged freeform jazz that permeates his soundtrack, but this wan indie is strictly middle-of-the-road background music. Read full review

The film's default mode is to lazily skewer suburbanites as cartoonishly privileged yuppies. Read full review

Aunque tiene una corta duración, consigue crear una trama que atrapa al espectador.

El proceso de una mudanza es agotador y a veces estresante, también el adaptarse a un nuevo entorno. Se nota que quisieron intercalar la reflexión sobre el racismo enmascarado en la sociedad actual, pero la idea queda a medias. Se puede ver cuando uno ya vio todas las películas buenas.
