Little Women (2019)
So many questions!?!- I am baffled at the "awards"
Unlike most of the other reviews here I went into this movie with a fresh viewing lens, having never read the book or seen the 94 version. I do however adore period movies and can quote many of them word for word.
I am beyond flabbergasted at most of the awards this movie is getting. Did we watch different movies!? BEST PICTURE? Best Supporting Actress for Florence??? Whilst watching I visibly cringed at the character Amy who clearly was meant to be a child.
These amazing actors are poorly casted. Many of them are truly riveting in their other works- Timothee and Emma for eg, yet, in these characters I get nothing from them. How can Emma be cast as the eldest with 2 grown kids? How can we believe that Jo was in love with Friedrich?? The ending felt so choppy and underwhelming that I felt compelled to go watch the 94 version immediately after to try to understand the story.
My oh My what a stark difference!! How can this 2019 version have more screen-time and say far less? My disdain only grew as I realized what an amazing story it really is and how much disservice was really done.
Journey 2: The Mysterious Island (2012)
Enjoyable if you turn of your brain
Cringey writing with a plot full of holes; kids would enjoy.
