Children at Play (2010)
Some friendships are not worth keeping.
The Radar read
A quieter title still finding its audience, though the rating rests on a thin sample, so treat it as provisional.
Synopsis
In his mid-twenties, Jack is an unassuming and introverted young man whose benign outward appearance is beginning to show cracks. After befriending Leni, a shy, neighborhood eleven year old, Jack's seemingly harmless relationship with the young girl starts to take on a much darker quality. As Jack struggles with irrepressible and depraved feelings for Leni, he is faced with a moral dilemma he knows he must confront. Unsuspecting of the magnitude of their relationship, Leni's older sister, Kayla, develops a crush on the mysterious and outwardly wholesome stranger befriending her sister. It isn't until Kayla comes to realize what Jack's motives truly are that Jack must face his secret and himself and make a decision that will forever change his life.

Open Double Feature RadarContent check
Based on the age rating and content tags — not a full scene-by-scene list.
Radar blends quality, momentum and freshness into one “what to watch now” number — so a great older film can sit lower than a rising new release. The Quality signal above is the time-neutral rating, which is why an acclaimed classic keeps a high quality score even when its Radar number is lower. Radar outputs are editorial algorithmic recommendations, not objective facts, and may change as signals update. A Radar score is not the same as a TMDB, IMDb or critic rating.
