Little Women in Wide Release

Two of the finest films of the year open this week in wide release, and while much of the buzz in my area of the internet seems to revolve around the Safdie’s Uncut Gems, which is terrific, I like Greta Gerwig’s Little Women more. It’s a lovely movie, of course, and the source material is impeccable, but the ways in which Gerwig manipulates its structure to make it unmistakably her picture as much as Louisa May Alcott’s is extremely impressive. It’s got great sets, great acting (Emma Watson’s performance as Meg is my favorite), and a whole lot of great hair–just some of its many beauties.
