3.5; Curse the misleading trailer! Thank god it’s not some formulaic expression of feminism as the trailer makes it out to be. After all, Little Women is not a didactic piece that urges women to discard their ‘heart’ and ‘beauty’ just because they are socially expected to have those qualities. When a social norm begins to threaten one's autonomy, always remember: if one went the opposite way of a stereotype for the sake of breaking that stereotype, one is still dictated by that very stereotype. Joe learns it the hard way, and her most revealing line in the film is: 'but I'm so lonely'. The very line that's been cut off from the trailer.
