Les Quatre Filles du Dr March

Or how to step into the female mind and come out unscathed. It's charming, heartwarming, with genuinely good performances, exactly as you'd imagine. For me, it was quite old-fashioned, like an old, charming mountain cabin that's on the brink of collapsing but always draws me back. (08/08/2023)

I rewatched this film after many years and I have no regrets. Apparently, even a cynic like me needs a feel-good movie with a great period atmosphere once in a while. The film is notable for its lack of action scenes unless you count the moment that concluded the ice-skating scene. Yet, I enjoyed it very much. It proved that not even a moving scene needs to be cringey or melodramatic. The film cast also deserves praise. Yes, I do remember that I, too, looked a little different back then:-) (08/01/2018)
