Little Women

Director: Greta Gerwig

2019 / 135min / DCP

Gerwig’s ebullient adaptation of Louisa May Alcott’s beloved 1868 coming-of-age novel of the same name, employing an elliptical approach that revivifies the material, features Saoirse Ronan, Emma Watson, Florence Pugh, and Eliza Scanlen as the gifted, headstrong March sisters of Concord, Massachusetts, its extraordinary ensemble rounded out by Laura Dern, Timothée Chalamet, Meryl Streep, and other assorted heavyweights. “Embraces its source material with eager enthusiasm rather than timid reverence… It’s as if the book has been carefully cut apart and reassembled, its signatures sewn back together in an order that produces sparks of surprise and occasional bouts of pleasurable dizziness.” —The New York Times
