  This 2010 auteur-helmed goth reboot of The Red Shoes fucks to be sure

  This and Birdman and Whiplash are the holy trinity for all the neurotic BFAs in your life

  Little Women 2019

  ½ Watched 08 Jan 2022 2

  This isn’t the feminist serve you think it is. It also makes no dramaturgical sense. The man Jo March ends up with is some dude who has a total of 10 minutes screen time who finally seduces our heroine by mansplaining writing. There is something off about every performance I’ve ever seen Timothee Chalamet give. There’s nothing very visually interesting happening here. Also “My little women!” is one of the more hilarious line-readings I’ve ever witnessed.
