March 20, 2020 – Little Women (2019) Screener
Wendey and I sheepishly admitted to each other that we confuse Little Women and Little House on the Praire. Perhaps it is because they are both old-timey books with the word “Little” in their name. This movie, directed by Greta Gerwig and based on the book by Laura Ingalls Wilder — or was it Louisa May Alcott? — manages to be contemporary in style and attitude even though it is set in the 1860s. Henry liked the movie a lot, but I only made it halfway through before falling asleep — perhaps because I was tired or perhaps because it isn’t really my kind of movie. Warning: there is no Michael Landon in this one.
