I had a great time watching this movie it is very like The old ones so if you are a fan if those you should watch this but great acting great reboot and worth The watch. This movie is just good for the soul. The parts were beautifully cast and the directing/music/cinematography blends so naturally that you truly feel like you're taking a step back in time. This really does do the book justice. A great job all-around and one that won't disappoint- go see it.

A thoroughly enjoyable film, it will make you smile, shed a tear, and the acting is first rate especially from the impeccable saoirse Ronan and florence Pugh, as a 53 year old Male I'm definitely not the target audience for this but I was captivated from start to finish.

Before I start, I should state that I have not read the source material nor watched any of the multiple adaptations, so this is coming from someone with no prior knowledge of the material. To my knowledge of the reception from my cinema audience, mostly middle aged women) this film does take liberties with the book. On a pure filmmaking front however, I feel Little Women exceeds as a great story about young women finding their place in the world. To my surprise and joy, there is no heavily politically correct agenda shoe-horned in either (despite some of the marketing and publicity saying otherwise) and is just a really well-thought piece that appeals to both young women and men.
The basic set-up is four sisters with four differing personalities and desires grow up together with a loving, charitable mother who holds them together away from the horrors of the Civil War that has taken away their father. The sisters live a relatively enclosed life in their home and try to break free from these domestic shackles to embrace youthful desires such as artistic pursuits and yes boys. Which erupts from a random encounter with a rich cultured neighborly boy that pursues pleasures over hard work. The story takes us over a decade of these sisters lives as their lifestyles change, their needs adapt and the incoming adulthood is about to change their naive bright youth.
It's a wonderful film that is a huge step-up for Greta Gerwig (her first film Lady Bird didn't really blow me away as it did for some) and perfectly orchestrates a tight web of stories and arcs. While you may see some events coming, none of them are eye-rollingly obvious and it's just a pleasure being in the company of all these characters. No one feels left out and all have emotional resonance to the plot.
The performances unsurprisingly are top-notch with Saorose Ronan and Florence Pugh (who has quickly made herself one of the lookout young stars of her generation) pulling in astonishing roles. Pugh especially deserves an award or praise for making a character that can be at times whiney and repulsive to being rather sympathetic and loving. She pulls in a perfect blend. I also want to praise Laura Dern as well for her performance as the mother. It's been a while since I've felt Dern has really stood out in a film but here, she really blossoms as a caring woman who has the burden of looking after four children during wartime.
Overall, Little Women is a film I can't recommend enough. It just works on many levels and is a shining work of what films about women written and made by women should be like.
