Mulherzinhas

O maior capital do filme é o excelente elenco de atrizes jovens e talentosas que ainda não custam tanto como Scarlett Johansson, mas que podem alcançar pelo menos o mesmo poder feminino num trabalho de equipa. E Laura Dern e Meryl complementam muito bem outra geração. Literalmente um prazer ver todas estas mulheres a apreciar as suas personagens e o tema «feminino» amado. Como estão felizes por fazerem parte dela. Suponho ser também um crédito para Greta Gerwig que adora o elenco e tem jeito para esta narrativa emocional. Tinha medo disto, e assim comoveu-me ainda mais. Puro romance cinematográfico com um coração aberto. Os saltos cronológicos na história eram confusos às vezes, mas não tiveram impacto na experiência emocional. O ator secundário Tracy Letts teve um ótimo ano, com o seu personagem no papel do editor de livros completa o brilhante papel de Henry Ford II em Le Mans '66: O Duelo. (02/02/2020)

Fresh, playful, at times extremely conversational, but improvisationally well played. The casting is superb (Ronan, Watson, Pugh). It's hard to say how faithful it is to the source material, or rather to the original film, but it meets the contemporary demands of a historical conversational drama with family values and ingredients in the form of relationships and life turning points and decisions very well. Perhaps the only bigger problem is with the flashbacks, which the director puts there quite unsparingly. It takes a while to get your bearings. (07/06/2020)

Through the avalanche of girls chirping and shouting, Little Women shot for sincere deeds, plot twists, or surprised tears. I sensed that the sought-after adaptation might enchant me, but that it would be a versatile spectacle that would soften the hearts of even the most hardened is a surprise of the most pleasant kind. Moreover, the entire cast is perfectly cast, and I would love to see them in all the upcoming costume dramas. This is, after all, a mutual chemistry that comes along once in a generation.

This story of four sisters coming of age in the mid-nineteenth century and figuring out what they want out of life is surprisingly relevant in the twenty-first century. In it, Greta Gerwig gives space to the actresses in particular, who certainly don't let her down, and she handles the touching and funny scenes with complete ease. An honest and entertaining modern adaptation of a literary classic. It's just a pity that it is perhaps unnecessarily cold and aloof in its first half. (30/01/2020)

I'll be honest, I was expecting a movie that might change my life. But even though I thought it was a nice flick and I liked the girls, it didn't happen. There is no need to debate the performances, they are so natural and convincing that I completely forgot about all the actresses' previous roles and for a while I just saw them as Little Women. Slightly less perfect, in my opinion, was the script. It made it difficult for me to orient myself in time, so I gave up after a while and instead of enjoying the story I just enjoyed watching the atmosphere, the costumes, and basically a female world where the male element intrudes a little less than we’re used to.
