"Little Woods" feels like a modern twist on a western which is cool, but I just couldn't get into it. I felt lost throughout.
In this drama, two sisters work outside the law in order to better their lives.
Overall, "Little Woods" is not a horrible film but not as great as people are saying it is. Tessa Thompson ("Annihilation") is terrific and powerful and Lily James ("Baby Driver") delivers a complex and emotionally draining performance. For these two lead actresses, I'd say that "Little Woods" is a huge stepping stone but as a whole film, I couldn't dive into it the way I had hoped.

Amazing movie that tells a great story and never strays away from the main character. Perfect film, beautifully written, you can feel the sister's struggle, and their determination.
In this film it is portrayed how life is not easy.
The film shows us that although everything may be against us, there will always be a light at the end of the tunnel. It also exposes us the dilemma between doing the right thing or surviving, just as it shows that the lack of money leads us to do things we don't want to do. It also touches on issues such as abortion, the sale and use of drugs, and the disagreements between the family are resolved when a tragic event occurs. This movie has a lot of family drama that works because of the extensive development of the characters and the good performances of these, although there is no development of what led those characters to go through those situations, as well the movie shows how difficult it is to deal with the ups and downs of life but that fate always has something good in store for us.
This family drama gives us a portrait of the difficulty of life, without victimizing the characters, but giving them a good development that helps you empathize with them, just as the solid performances make this story realistic, even if it is dramatic, it is worth it to see it.

This is a subtle, slow-burn drama with two fantastic lead performances at its core. Recommended.
Lily James and Tessa Thompson both deliver stunning performances and this film explains beautifully the hardships of a working class woman's life. It's very real, raw and sometimes also quite painful to watch. Nina DaCosta did a terrific job on her first film. Absolutely loved it. It's so powerful and intense and deep and a really good film.
