Set in Austin, Texas 'Men, Women & Children' focuses on the students of high school and their parents to show how they engage in their communication and relationships in the world of 21st century technology. Given that the teenagers are developing their sexuality porn sites, sexual thought and activity all figure prominently.
The frank nature in which this material is presented, whilst not quite hard core is nonetheless confronting for some as evidenced by a number of walk outs at the session I attended. Although less than two hours in length its slow moving style makes it seem longer.
I think it is quite a good film and probably advisable viewing for the parents of early/mid teen children but it will be uncomfortable viewing for many.
★★★1/2
