I didn't include Emma Watson because she doesn't have much of a role, and she wasn't a standout. There's nothing wrong with her performance, but there's nothing strong about it either.
Ah! Grace if you knew the story, you would have known that this sister does the least 😜. I've watched all the adaptations. That includes the anime series from the 70/80's. I'll give this one a chance but I like by Christan Bale Teddy. 🥺
@@daniellengontang150 I would argue Meg and Beth are tied for that. Christian Bale was great in Little Women. I hated Amy in the 1994 version but I heard Florence made her transformation as a mature person really sublime.
Watching this gave me the impression that Emma Watson didn’t have much of a role in the movie. Now that I’ve watched the movie I can say that her fan base, myself included, will be more than satisfied and happy with both her performance and screen time. She did what was asked of her and she did it beautifully so. The whole cast did, actually. Lovely movie!
Gwxrie Sulm yeah I just saw it last night and I’m really annoyed at how Grace clearly ignored Emma’s role and performance on purpose. She’s very much in the movie. More screen time that many other people she talked about. More screen time that Chalamet. The movie was great and Emma did just perfectly fine.
I really believe that Florence PUGH is going to get an Oscar nomination as Best Suporting...they are really marketing the movie with her and she's in every press interview. And she had a PHENOMENAL year: Fighting with my Family, Midsommar and now Little Women! A nomination would be the best lead up to the Black Widow movie 😍🙊 Also it's about time that Saoirse Ronan finally gets an Oscar! She is one of the most talented actresses in the industry!
This is indeed a breakout year for Florence Pugh and that will make her a houshold name. The rumours of her amazing performance as Amy March are really true, after all..
@Diego Pisfil Laura Dern is already winning for Marriage Story, she won't get two nominations in the same category...LOL....and Emma Watson is not even in the conversation for supporting actress...
@@kenisme1000 However, Emma Watson can still reap some benefits of her nomination by means of the SAG award for the Best Ensemble Cast, and she's included by it.
You have to finish the 1994 version, it’s so good. I also love the 1949 version with Elizabeth Taylor and Janet Leigh, but the 1994 version is a classic. I haven’t seen this 2019 yet, but if you appreciate the story now you have to go back!
Raaid Cotman-El I have had the experience also. Sometimes it is more to do with what I am in the mood for though. My point is she can’t really grade that Little Women because of 5 minutes.
@@michellesmith3837 she definitely didn't give it a chance. Have their been movies that are on your list to watch, you turn it on but quickly switch to something else. Has that ever happened to you?
It’s frustrating trying to determine what Grace is attributing to the original Little Women story and what’s new because Grace hasn’t experienced little women before!
Grace, please go back and give the 94 version more of a chance. It really is a wonderful movie that emphasizes the strong mother and Jo's career challenges.
With Grace's misguided criticism of Jojo Rabbit, praise of many of the live action disney remakes, and offhand dismissal of 94's 'Little Women,' I fear our previous accord when it comes to taste is diverging more and more.
LOVED this version of the movie the most, and loved your review! I was bored with the 1994 version as a child but greatly appreciated this 2019 film as an adult.
I appreciate an honest review of a film regardless of the director’s gender. Don’t agree with hating a film just because it’s directed by a female as some reverse me too.
Omg ! I'm french, and I did not know Louis Garrel was in this ! He's a great actor, very well known here. Always cool to see national talent expand abroad :)
If you’re looking for a fresh Christmas movie, look for Bill Forsyth’s “Comfort and Joy” (1984) with Bill Paterson and Eleanor David. Hard to find, but well worth it.
I love AMY Florence is so good at being Amy!! I loved that she was Amy though the whole movie. I love the 1994 version as well probably top 3 favorite movie of all time! I do like this version just a little bit better. 💙💜🖤
The primary reason I wanted to see this was for Emma Watson so I'm disappointed she doesn't have much of a role. I do love the story though so I'll probably still see it.
@@MichelleRedSoul She's still remarkable as an actress, as evidenced in her roles in The Perks of Being a Wallflower, The Bling Ring, Noah, and Beauty and the Beast.
The 1994 version is pretty incomparable but the 2018 BBC adaptation is wonderful, too. Anyone who hasn't seen it, I give it my highest recommendation. Really looking forward to Greta's version!
As a younger viewer the different timelines took a bit of getting used to. Eventually the choice was better understood. But damnnn Timmy C was gorgeous.
The part where she talks about how many good movies directed by women we had this year and how many could be nominated makes me so mad now... So many movies, so many women, and the oscars didn't give a fuck about any of them
From her clips most people who’ve seen her and in reviews today the problem is her accent...her Brit comes out and throws things off a bit. But nothing truly awful about her performance. Character isn’t as exciting.
@@starryeyes4301 Yet she still gives a commendable performance despite slipping her accent. Like, there are some example of that, particularly Ewan McGregor of struggling with his American accent within his roles such as in Big Fish, Down with Love and Doctor Sleep, but still gives an amazing performance.
To be honest Saoirse, Florence, Timothée, and even Eliza Scanlen (who has an even smaller role) are EXTREMELY talented so it’s hard for her to compare or stand out. But i’m not upset she’s in the movie.
@@ajpat9620 you are everywhere defending Emma Watson. Some people might not like her, some might. I don't find her acting particularly good and i am allowed to say that anywhere. Nobody is too sacred to be criticized especially on internet

@@ajpat9620 you must be trolling... nobody can be this dumb. She is a piece of wood. She can't act, nor can she sing. She gets roles only because the filmmakers hope that she will attract hp fans to the theatres
I adored this. After what I think has been quite a poor year for films, I'm definitely glad to have caught this just in time to make it a film of the year I honestly loved, rather than one that was simply a bit less mediocre than all the others.
Saoirse Ronan's worst performance can't possible be Mary Queen of Scotts. Have you seen "The Host" OMG THAT MOVIE WAS SO PAINFUL. I'm so glad she made it past that.
Why do we need ANOTHER Little Women? There are so many creative individuals who have new or innovative ideas that are not afforded an opportunity. Hollyweird is focused on remakes, reboots, and sequels. I've seen less films this year than ever before. 🙄
She merely took a year-long break to focus with her other commitments. Emma Watson only got that role last year, when that film was about begin shooting and given the fact the original choice for that role: Emma Stone, was forced to drop out of the movie due to scheduling conflicts in promoting The Favourite and not to mentioned that Emma Stone was attached to film Cruella.
There's still that rumor that Warner Brothers wants her to direct "Batgirl" and people were curious about how her take on "Little Women" would turn out. I actually think she would cast Florence Pugh as Barbara Gordon.
I’m familiar with all three past film versions and am a big fan of the 1994 adaptation, also produced by Amy Pascal. Had my concerns about this one, based on the trailer, but now, I’m eager to see it!
i am kind of surprised that sony is pushing this as Florence Pugh's movie now as opposed to Saiorse Ronan's movie...i mean in every report and every review Florence Pugh's name is mentioned as osar worthy not saiorse ronan's......
Grace, a good Christmas movie to try out is Miss Potter since you were looking for one and were disappointed with the 90's version of Little Women. It doesn't have tons of Christmas but enough to count for me. Wonderful film!
Well it's pretty unfair that you don't even bothered to acknowledge Emma Watson's performance, she's pretty talented and every reviewer mentioned her impressive and substantial performance even as a supporting character. She's propably the biggest name of the film after Meryl Streep and a huge box office draw, I cannot understand why some people still trying to put her down and underestimate her work.
And by not giving Emma Watson a full acknowledgement and credit on her performance, was nothing but an insult. Those that are fully devoted and loyal to her, should be f**king pissed with this bulls**t act.
I didn't include Emma Watson because she doesn't have much of a role, and she wasn't a standout. There's nothing wrong with her performance, but there's nothing strong about it either.
I was just going to ask that 😆 thanks for clarifying :)
She was perfectly cast then.

How can you not watch the Winona version??? The best one.
I rewatch the 94 film every year. So good.
Yeah, Grace disappoints me there.
It needed an upgrade in my opinion.
Yes ☹️
Yes, I absolutely agree. Claire Danes was great too.
This literally went from “mildly interesting” movie to “a must see” as I listened to this.
The Little Women aren't so little in this one...
Are they like scary little?
lol lil 30 YO women
Every time I see that picture of Amy Pascal I can't help but think she's the final boss in a video game called "I want to speak to the Manager."
Soooooooooo true😂
Amy 'Karen' Pascal.

5 mins of the 1994 version. Gurl you missed out.

The 94 version is really good.
I love the version with Winona Ryder Susan Sarandon
I can't believe this is better than Winona's Little Women. Claire Danes performance alone, I'm certain can't be topped.
Tom Campbell I prefer the 94 version
Tom Campbell it’s not
I love them both except for the casting of amy and laurie
who turns off a movie after 5 minutes? like 15 I would understand but 5??

Does this particular story need a reboot every 2 years? What makes this movie better than all the previous reboots?
2 years the last one came in 1994
Watching Grace talk about Little Women is probably the closest I'll ever come to watching Little Women.

Eliza Scanlan broke my heart again after „The devil all the time“ … can someone please give her a role where she is happy and gets a happy-end plz…
What is this "European guy" thing? As a European guy I am dying to know....
I love The Little Women with Wynonna Ryder. 1994 I watched over and over again
Absolutely LOVE the 94 version, but now having screened Gerwig’s adaptation, the 2019 is hands down my favorite ❤️
1994 version is my fave, so I guess its a matter of aesthetic and taste.
Go watch Netflix’s Klause if you want a new Christmas movie. It’s a lovely film!
I'm saving it for December!
I know! Oh my Lord it made me cry! Loved it!
I was very pleasantly surprised with Klaus, it became an instant favorite for me. It even made me cry and I don't cry easily with movies.
I have faith this film will be good. Hope others agree. We'll see. Great video as always!
I can’t watch another version of Little Women. This and A Star is Born do NOT need another remake!
We usally wait 10 mins til we turn off a movie in my house. Haven't seen any little women movie. But hear about it every year.
You really should see the Winona Ryder version. Give it another try. It’s such a lavish and charming movie. I love it.
Didnt expect to see this review till December.Feels like an early Christmas present.
Love the holiday background Grace!
I love all the Little Women films, I cannot wait to see this version
When I first saw the trailer, my mouth continued to drop. This ensemble has so many big names, it's like the Endgame of chick flicks
So does the 1994 version.
It's not a chick flick. It's a piece of art made from a classic piece of literature.
I really enjoy the version form the 90s with Winona Ryder. That's why I'm excited to see the new version. I'm super glad to hear you enjoyed it.
Not one... but two Grace reviews in one day??? We’ve been blessed
The 1994 version is amazing
What about Emma watson performance?
@Jun Lenoir Yet she still gives a commendable performance, nonetheless. She contributed a lot of charm to that movie.
Not one word about Emma Watson. What has she done to poor Grace?...lol...
Lol
Emma was perfectly cast as Meg, as she isn't all that remarkable as an actor.
@@MichelleRedSoul She's still remarkable as an actress, as evidenced in her roles in The Perks of Being a Wallflower, The Bling Ring, Noah, and Beauty and the Beast.

Please give the ‘94 version another chance!!!🙏🏼
What about Emma Watson?
7:16 you forgot that Margot will be the lead actress in the next Greta's movie "Barbie"
Really? I am hyped already.
@@njidekaike8356 yep. I'm hyped too!
Oh good. I’m excited for this. I listened to this video while decorating my office for Christmas and I’m in the holiday mood for sure

SAOIRSE RONAN!!!!! so glad you enjoyed the movie! Let's hope Saoirse gets some awards loveeee
She’s definitely getting an Oscar nom for this which would make her 4th so far. She’s only 25!!! Critics are saying this is her best performance.
I'm told fans find Christian Bale very dashing in the 1994 adaptation.
PurushaDesa I’m probably the only that didn’t find his performance that remarkable in the 1994 one and i’m even a huge Bale fan.
You should give the '94 version another chance.
Grace please could you share your thoughts on Watchmen episode 6 ? It was mindblowing to me
Never clicked so fast! I LOVE your videos Grace. They always make my day better.❤️
Couldn't help my self from cracking up when Bob Odenkirk appeared
As a younger viewer the different timelines took a bit of getting used to. Eventually the choice was better understood. But damnnn Timmy C was gorgeous.
I love the holiday theme!!!😍😍😍
Curly letters for the chapter times AND a festive frame? Look at you getting all fancy, Grace!
Grace you have to check out the 90s adaptation of “The Preachers wife” it’s really good too.
once seeing the trailer, I didn't think the cast looked very good together/like a family. I think the '94 version everyone looks similar.
Timothée Chalamet is in this? I'm in. 😍
Wow, it's so rare to hear someone make a reference to The Bishop's Wife! Gorgeous classic film. My favourite Cary Grant role.
The part where she talks about how many good movies directed by women we had this year and how many could be nominated makes me so mad now... So many movies, so many women, and the oscars didn't give a fuck about any of them
So is Emma Watson Grace's new Jessica Chastian? I could understand if she was.
no mention of emma watson
damn is she that bad?
Proof we do not live in a meritocracy is that she was consistently the worst of the three Harry Potter leads.

I always liked the little women film and animations. As well as the sequel (animation).
...what about Emma Watson???
