In Sarah, she creates a character of many layers that easily stands up to Hurt's work. Together, their chemistry is undeniable. But in the end, I think Children of a Lesser God 's focus on two separate storylines prevents either one from fully developing and becoming completely engaging. Paramount has prepared a good-looking DVD presentation of Children of a Lesser God . First of all, the film has been given an anamorphic transfer that's very good.
Color saturation is accurate, with little bleed.
Flesh tones and black levels are also solid, if a little muted. Some light edge enhancement rears its ugly head every now and again, and there's also some grain and age-related issues with the print. But this is, otherwise, a good DVD picture. It's a decent mix, with clean dialogue, that lacks the hiss and static that is sometimes apparent in other mono soundtracks. It also has a fairly full sound to it, without the usual tinny aftertaste.
