Forget Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood, Twitter has officially deemed Little Women the year’s most anticipated film.
But the true gift Little Women’s trailer has bestowed upon us is Streep’s seconds-long cameo. Streep’s Aunt March tells Ronan’s Jo, “No one makes their own way, least of all a woman. You’ll need to marry well,” to which Jo responds, “but you’re not married, Aunt March.” Without missing a beat, Streep scrunches up her multi-million-dollar face and replies, “Well that’s because I’m rich.” Viewers shipped, hard.

Of course, Streep wasn’t the only element of the trailer that stood out.
