The “Devil All the Time” summed up in 2 sentences:
1. A whole bunch of British actors pretending to be American and...
2. Arvin Russell, either having an incredibly good shot or is just stupid lucky...idk you tell me

Amity ‘Amma’ Crellin + character tropes
“I particularly mourn the lack of female villains — good, potent female villains. […] I’m talking violent, wicked women. Scary women. Don’t tell me you don’t know some. The point is, women have spent so many years girl-powering ourselves — to the point of almost parodic encouragement — we’ve left no room to acknowledge our dark side. Dark sides are important.” — Gillian Flynn

My thoughts on Little Women (2019)
Brilliant film and I’m not a huge fan of the Little Women story. It jumps around in time which actually works quite well. The acting here is lovely - each sister gets her own moment - not just Jo, even though this is very much Jo’s story. Eliza Scanlen as Beth is heartbreaking. Timothee Chalamet isn’t as good a Laurie as Christian Bale in the ‘94 version (still probably the best version) but his romance with Amy is more believable. Florence Pugh’s Amy is less annoying as in other versions and we get to know her better since she’s plays both young and older Amy. Florence makes Amy spoiled, but not heartless. Emma Watson has some lovely scenes as the more-overlooked Meg. Saoirse Ronan as Jo owns the film, and she carries it with ease. I’ve loved watching more work from Florence Pugh (she’s brilliant in Little Drummer Girl) and it was nice to discover Eliza Scanlen. The film also features great supporting performances by Meryl Streep as Aunt March and Laura Dern and Bob Odenkirk as the Marmie and Father March. Greta Gerwig has done a marvelous job.
The movie resonated for me on a personal level in so many ways. Jo has a speech about women only being good for loving and marriage and not for thinking. I know exactly how she feels. I’m used to people thinking I’m an idiot. Since I don’t talk about football or hunting or cars or politics, nobody ever asks my opinion on anything. And when I give it, no one really listens anyway. All I want to talk about are the books I’m reading, the films I’ve seen, the great thing I baked the other day. The only compliment my father ever gave me (he doesn’t really give compliments to anyone in general) was that since I was a good cook, I’d make a good wife some day. Because, apparently, that is all I”m good for. It is nice to be independent but it would be nice to love and be loved. Because it is so lonely sometimes.
Also, like Jo, I know what it’s like to live on your own with no hopes, no prospects. I don’t have a husband/partner/whatever. I don’t have anyone to help pay the rent, etc. I don’t have any savings. I have nothing. And when you have no prospects or hopes, that makes you feel even more alone.
And finally, during the ending when Jo watches her book being published, I cried. That is what I want - I want to be a writer. I want to create a world and characters. I have characters in my head, but I can’t see what they’re doing yet. The books may be more whodunits, rather than great novels, but I want to write them. I wish I could spend all day just creating, but I can’t. I have to work at jobs that i despise that take all my time. By the time I get home, I’m too tired to do anything else. I just wish I had the courage and the time and the ability to be as brilliant and smart as Jo. Instead, I just muddle through life. I wish I had a supportive and loving family like Jo. I’ve never gotten along with my sister. My family doesn’t really show any emotions and look down on you if you even cry. Plus, they rarely have any advice to give. They rarely offer any support. A big family like the March family might drive me nuts, but I do miss I had that support and love.
So I was just weeping my heart out throughout the film. I wasn’t the only one. There were quite a few sniffles in the theater!
