* MatureWorkChildProtagonists: The protagonists are the titular children (Alexander more so). They largely serve an observational role as the story deals with their family's dramas, ranging from infidelity to dealing with a truly WickedStepfather who may or may not have killed his previous wife and daughters. The film is pretty frank with its sexual content and violence and there are many discussions on weighty topics that would fly over the heads of most younger audiences.
