I agree with your take on this movie. Yes Timothee C. was too young & not someone I would have cast as the Laurie character. I agree that Frances Pugh came across as older & more sophisticated than the Amy character would have been. The scene where she goes off on Laurie at the party was totally unbelievable. A young lady of that era would never have behaved that way in that era. The scene was totally overdone. The movie tried too hard to be hip and with sensibilities of the 21st century. Louisa M. Alcott was a writer & very independent is is true. The book was an idealized version of her life which was in actuality kind of grim and a burden on her. Her writing did a lot to support the family because her father was an intellectual with very little ability to support his family. For me the best LW film will always be the 1994 film.
It doesn't hold a candle to Gillian Armstrong's 1994 version. Please see my review on it.
Yes that pretty much encapsulates it.
I feel the same. It annoys me no end.
So you think Maura's had some kind of cosmetic surgery thing or collagen injections to her mouth? She just looks to me like she is mugging for the camera with that weird things she does with her mouth where she puckers them outward somehow. Weird looking.
