Greta Gerwig's adaptation of Little Women contains multitudes.
It is a romance that doesn't focus on the romance so much as the ambitions and desires of the women, beyond finding the right partner.
It is a family film about how messy yet loving family can be.
It contains the perfect cast with not a weak link amongst them.
It features some of the best romanticisation / horrible truth about writing on film.
The actors transform on screen from teenagers to adults that is believable, simple yet astonishing. Especially Amy.
It features authentic conversations about women, their desires and frustrations and realities in that time period that still resonates now.
THE COSTUMES. So gorgeous.
THAT unbuttoning the apron moment. Jeez.
The sets. I want to live in the March house.
The wholesome, empowering and surprising relationships and moments between the adults and the young adults. Laurie's grandfather and Beth. Jo and her mother.
It somehow romanticises and unveils the truth about writing.
Can I say again, the aesthetics of this film is my jam.
Even though they didn't end as a couple, Jo and Laurie or rather Saoirse Ronan and Timothy Chalamet's chemistry on screen is SO GOOD.
The gorgeous shots, making me want to protect nature more.
I can go on and on. I might add more later. If you have anything to add, write it below.
