“I want to be an artist in my own right.”
Greta Gerwig’s Little Women (2019) is a beautifully crafted adaptation of Louisa May Alcott’s timeless novel, following the lives of the March sisters—Jo, Meg, Beth, and Amy—growing up in 19th-century Massachusetts. The film masterfully intertwines their dreams, struggles, and relationships as they navigate their personal paths through love, ambition, and hardship. Saoirse Ronan stars as the headstrong Jo, with Emma Watson, Florence Pugh, and Eliza Scanlen playing her sisters.
