Little Women
I’ve enjoyed the Susan Sarandon/Winona Ryder version a number of times in the last 25 years, so I wasn’t too keen on a remake.

The first half of the book is told in flashbacks. I think the framing works. Gerwig also finds subtle and not so subtle ways to insert a bit of a #Meetoo era feminism into the telling of this beloved classic. The casting is good. I’m not as in love with Florence…
