Superb. Not a weak performance, except for Timothy Chalamet, who never outgrows being a pretty boy. (Perhaps Amy will man him up). Saoirse Ronan is an ideal Jo, full of intelligence, courage, pride and temperament. Amy finally gets to have her side of the story fairly heard, though not necessarily agreed with, instead of being the vain, shallow quasi-villain she's usually seen as. (I hope this is Florence Pugh's breakout role; she deserves it.) And Gerwig's idea of turning the book inside out, putting the second half in present time and telling the first through Jo's flashbacks, is in my opinion brilliant, because it puts the focus on the women that the March girls grew up to be.
