"The achievement of this wonderful movie goes beyond the specifics of its production. Gerwig has reimagined the novel back to its roots, as the story of not just one woman but all the women Louisa May Alcott may have lived with or known or been. It is an offering — to her, to them, and to us." ... Read full review

"Little Women is made with so much love and enthusiasm — both behind and in front of the camera — that even the deeply sad scenes still fill you with joy and longing. It’s an explosion of emotions, from loss to love to everything in between." ... Read full review

Wendy Ide | Dec 29, 2019
"By encouraging a merry chaos of overlapping personalities and performances – restructuring the timeline into a multilayered playground where the child and adult stories interact – and subtly foregrounding existing themes of female fulfilment and the economics of creativity, Gerwig creates something that is true to its roots and bracingly current." ...

"It is rare that a movie finds its way into the hearts of a massive audience with both flair and sentimentality that made the 1949 "Little Women" so unique and unforgettable. The new one pretty much settles for sentimentality." ... Read full review

Absolutely LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!! FAMILY FRIENDLY TREAT!

In an era with so much inappropriate and disgusting messages in the movie industry, this movie is an absolute treat for me and my family! Clean--no swearing. No blood or gory violence.No sex references or scenes on any gender. The sophistication and level of beauty of a well-written and well-acted movie is a wonderful change. I encourage those to watch it if you are tired of horrible messages in movies. The only thing is the flashbacks may be hard to keep up, just be aware of filters and other indications of the timeline of the movie to notice if it in the past or present. But found the timeline very necessary and suspenful. Lovely movie for me and my family and can't recommend it enough. :):)

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. É uma das melhores adaptações do livro. Mesmo com várias adaptações, greta consegue trazer um novo ar pro filme. Fora o elenco de peso e atuações impressionantes. Enfim esse é um dos melhores filmes desse ano Expand

Another remake of Little Women--and this one is spectacular. Instead of telling the story in a linear fashion, Gerwig begins in the presentAnother remake of Little Women--and this one is spectacular. Instead of telling the story in a linear fashion, Gerwig begins in the present and then flashes back and flashes forward and back again, etc., unpeeling layers of meaning and emotion in the process. The cast is superb--Saoirse Ronan is dazzling as is the camera work and musical score. Why would Gerwig choose to present the narrative complexly rather than in a straightforward manner? The latter approach has already been done ad nauseum, for one. Secondly, Gerwig has made Jo into Alcott's alter ego, and as Jo struggles to get published in New York, she reminisces about her adolescence and early adulthood in the March family. When one thinks, there are no time constraints--you can be anywhere, anytime you want and jump freely as your thoughts inspire you. As the audience for the film witnesses this random sequencing, we experience new anticipations, meanings, and insights not possible in a linear presentation. If the movie frustrated you, I urge you to watch it again with these ideas in mind at a bargain theater or certainly on cable--the experience will be rewarding. Expand

It’s incredibly mediocre and not worthy of the praise it seems to be receiving. I went because of the high critic reviews. The only reason it has such good critic reviews is because of the political messaging. The plot was boring. I should’ve known I not to trust critic reviews. Expand

So much worse than the 1996 version!

Jo does not act boyish enough as she is supposed
So much worse than the 1996 version!
The cast looks nothing like the description in the book.
Jo does not act boyish enough as she is supposed to, and she does not look boyish either.
Amy, who is the youngest sister, looks older than everyone else, including Teddy. They have 24-years-old access playing 12-year-old kid! Her voice is deeper than her oldest sister Meg.
Teddy is supposed to be Joe’s age, but he looks like teenager when already married.
The only person who looks and acts appropriate for their role is probably Beth.
The storyline is a complete mess, keeps jumping back and forward between the first and second part of the book, and thus makes everything very confusing even for someone who was read the book, especially because the characters do not age, apparently, or change in any way.
There are a lot of made up moments and dialogues throughout the movie, that do not appear in the book.
The whole first part of the book - the actual ‘Little women’ part it’s rushed through, and most of the important dialogues are cut off.
