Directed by Greta Gerwig
Starring Saoirse Ronan, Florence Pugh, Emma Watson
Based on the novel by Louisa May Alcott
The seventh retelling of the timeless historical novel, 'Little Women' tells the story of four sisters namely Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy. They are poor, but their mother advise them to be generous and kind to others; an advice the sisters try to follow in their lives. Jo, the main character, wants to be a writer. Meg lives for fashion, Amy wants to marry rich and Beth is good through and through. And then one day Jo meets a boy named Laurie, their rich neighbour. The story takes off from there.
In contrast to the book, the movie starts from the middle and goes back and forth to tell the story. It also touches upon the hardships women had to face during that time, such as their lack of proper employment opportunities, or the right to have money of their own.
I loved the book and I loved the movie too. It will surely bring forth a tear or two.. Saoirse Ronan has done a marvelous job in this movie.
