Review: 'Little'

05/30/19 • 45 min

Jasmine, Taisje, and Val do a full review of the film, 'Little', starring the little genius herself, Marsai Martin, the illustrious, Regina Hall, and our April 2019 Essence cover girl, Issa Rae. 'Little' is about a tech business mogul, Jordan, who hates everyone and scares her entire staff shitless. Jordan is so mean, a little girl she encounters puts a spell on her to be "little" again. And behold, Jordan is her 13 year-old self again the next day. Hijinks ensue. A production of Will Packer Productions and executive produced by Marsai Martin, 'Little' becomes one of the first fantasy-comedies to be led by a Black girl.

Carter, Hannah Beechler, all won statues solidifying themselves as forces to still be reckoned with. Then, there was the same old overwhelming whiteness of it all and...that Best Picture win. The ladies of HMTR chat about what it means for white savior films to still be winning big in 2019 and how their very existence underscores ongoing conversations about diversity (ugh) in Hollywood.
