“I want to be great, or nothing.”

seen this 4 times now. great is selling it short.

back to business as usual in January. sending warmth and well wishes to everyone out there in the meantime.

i cried in the bathroom afterwards. the ending isn’t sad, not at all, but it’s just so overwhelming that movies like this exist, where every element fits so perfectly that it feels like an act of witchcraft. and maybe i’m being dramatic and hyperbolic but fuck, there are few movies that make me feel like this.

The little women are great in this movie, but so are the little men. And the big women and the big men. Everyone is great. I love them and I care about them so much.

But mostly I can't stop thinking about the part where Florence Pugh squishes her nose.

need me a timothée chalamet to tell me im not a career failure at 20

“there are some natures too noble to curb and too lofty to bend”

i’m on the outside looking in. i felt so much while watching this, crying a lot and smiling even more. not bold enough to wow, but comfortable enough to settle into. i liked that. but just as i felt with lady bird, that feeling disappeared into the fog when it ended, shattering the daydream and leaving me all but comforted by the experience. while viewing i saw warmth, care, and even skill fill up every corner, but hours of reflection and i can’t quite recall what it all felt like. it doesn’t feel tangible anymore, it feels almost generic, and lifeless. a ghost of what it was. i’m mostly alone in this, and that’s ok. i just don’t think greta’s brand is for me. this rating is probably going to fluctuate as i keep reflecting, so don’t hold me to it

Definitely not a bad movie by any means, but I was very underwhelmed, this is a pretty huge step down from Lady Bird in my opinion. 
Don’t get me wrong, the cast is great with my personal favourites being Saorise Ronan, Timothee Chalamet and Florence Pugh. 
The costumes are also phenomenal and should definitely win costume design at the Oscars. 
Having seen a very best picture nominee I can say that this is one of the weaker ones in my opinion. I don’t want to come across like I hated this movie, but I was disappointed. 
At least it’s better than Ford V Ferrari.

Very good! Super emotional and just done really well. At first I didn't like the whole jumping back and forth between past and present but it really worked well at the end. Delightful movie

Tears.

Greta Gerwig knee what she was doing casting Saoirse and Timothee 👀

As much as I love how much this is a feminist movie, I also love how much this is a coming-of-age movie and a movie about The nostalgia of and loss of youth. To me it's actually kind of dark at points because it covers how people change as they grow and how sometimes those changes aren't good and have sometimes they need to remember and look back on who they were originally when they were young to become a better person and to be happy.

Beautiful. Thank you Greta. It was lively and moving. Loved the banter and witty comments. Story flowed in a nonlinear - which I also loved! Also, bravo to Florence! As ever, Timmy.

Coming to tears about 4 times, I will say Little Women was fantastic. Each of the girls were perfect, and at the end all I wanted to do was hang out with them. I didn’t know much of the storyline besides vaguely remembering a death. I’d heard of it etc, but after watching I am quite a supporter. So much as to read the book (but it’s on the back list because I have lots to read first). Anywho, enjoyed this and would watch again.
