Surely this packed a hell of a punch at the time of it's release, but today it stands as a time capsule of a gentler, more naive time in America. Well made... it's clear that a lot of heart went into this production, and the performances(especially from the children) are top-notch. Essentially actionless, 'Ladybug Ladybug' presents the dread of a single day when the students and faculty of a public school are led to believe that they are under a nuclear attack. The children are chaperoned by a teacher to their homes...they walk, and as they go they do their best to maintain composure and keep each other calm. Horrifying in the quietest and most subtle ways, 'Ladybug Ladybug' is a film not easily forgotten...and one to preserve for posterity. 8.5/10
