Greta Gerwig's "Little Women" is an adaptation of Louisa May Alcott's classic novel. The film follows the lives of the March sisters—Jo, Meg, Amy, and Beth—as they navigate the challenges of growing up in post-Civil War America. Jo, an aspiring writer, reflects on their past experiences and dreams for the future. The story explores themes of love, ambition, and the struggle for independence. Gerwig's non-linear narrative structure, interweaving past and present, adds depth to the characters' development. The film is celebrated for its strong performances, particularly by Saoirse Ronan and Florence Pugh, and its fresh, feminist perspective.Also starring Emma Watson and Eliza Scanlen.
