Grande Menina, Pequena Mulher (2003)★ 6.8/10

Tenho empatia pela Murphy de graça. Um mulherão mas certos papéis onde se mostrava fofa e desajeitada lhe caiam tão bem e esse filme é um caso clássico. Não é nada demais, e bem típico de meados dos anos 2000, porém, não há nada de errado com um filme conforto com uma lição de esperança. Gostei especialmente da trilha sonora.

Genial

La magia de hacer personajes estrafalarios, pero realistas y experiencias llamativas, pero conmovedoras. Pequeñas grandes amigas es el lugar seguro de muchos y también un imprescindible en la lista de chickflicks que roban risas, corazones y momentos de profunda empatía cuando se necesita bajar la guardia en la vida real.

Molly’s optimism is the emotional heartbeat of the film, shaping its tone and driving its story. Her unwavering belief in finding light, even in the face of hardship, defines her character and creates a natural connection with Ray. This resilience never feels contrived; rather, it’s what makes their shared journey both believable and deeply moving.

A heartfelt and beautifully structured film that weaves themes of friendship, family, and personal growth into an emotionally resonant story. The evolving bond between 22-year-old Molly and 8-year-old Ray is portrayed with warmth and nuance as they stumble through immaturity while helping each other face the wounds of loss. The screenplay is remarkably well-crafted—seemingly lighthearted, but every moment is grounded in thoughtful setup and payoff.
