Little Women is a delightful film adaptation of Louisa May Alcott’s iconic 1868 novel. The film follows the story of the four March sisters – Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy. Each of the sisters face their own obstacles as they try to find their place in the world.
The story is told mostly through the perspective of Jo, who is introduced as a struggling writer in New York City. As the story unfolds, we jump between the past and present, learning more about each sister and the strong bonds they share. The oldest March sister Meg is responsible, kind, and has a small weakness for luxury and money. Jo is strong, has a short temper, and wants nothing more than to keep her family together. Beth has a gentle nature, plays the piano very well, and tries to keep the peace between her sisters. The youngest March sister Amy is an ambitious artist who is quite vain and spoiled at a young age, however, grows to become a dignified woman.
The film is funny, emotional and heart-warming, and is filled with twists and turns that will keep you entertained. The director incorporates modern themes around feminism and equality in 19th Century Massachusetts, giving viewers a refreshing perspective on a classic period drama. The cast is fantastic, with incredible performances from Saoirse Ronan (Jo March), Florence Pugh (Amy March), Emma Watson (Meg March), Eliza Scanlen (Beth March) and Timothée Chalamet (Theodore Laurence).
If you like movies like Pride and Prejudice and Emma, you will enjoy Greta Gerwig's Little Women.
