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.

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.

Even as some of the supporting players and subplots veer toward caricature, the family dynamics at the film’s center remain entirely relatable.

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

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

Despite its occasional smart commentary, the film offers a limited, one-note response to modern day racism.

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

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.
