Jan. 20th, 2020 10:08 pmI'd read enough about Greta Gerwig's Little Women that I was curious to see it: ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
nineweaving loved it, fjm (over on FaceBook) hated it, and both for what seemed to be sound reasons. I've just failed to find fjm's post, so this is vague, but she was critical of things which appeared to be details, but which misread the attitudes of the period, and of the March / Alcott family in particular. Hadley Freeman makes some related points in more general terms (and I'll come back to this).
We saw the film last Wednesday, and we both enjoyed it: ( does the concept of spoilers apply to 'Little Women'? If so, there may be some... )
Tom Gauld has the last word.
