When this film came out it was one of my most anticipated of that year.

Mili (2022) – A Diluted Remake That Does Not Bite Even In The Cold
A part of me wishes I would have loved this as much as others did, but here is my honest opinion about this film. Having watched the original did impact on this.

Little Women (2019) – An Old Story Comes Alive
I finally saw this and I wasn't disappointed! A modern classic for sure and Greta Gerwig should have gotten a nomination for Best Director!
