Little Women

written by Louisa May Alcott, screenplay: Greta Gerwig, music by Alexandre Desplat, DOP: Yorick Le Saux, edited by Nick Houy, producer: Denise Di Novi, Arnon Milchan, Amy Pascal, Robin Swicord

cast: Florence Pugh, Emma Watson, Saoirse Ronan, Timothée Chalamet, Meryl Streep

Writer-director Greta Gerwig (Lady Bird) has crafted a Little Women that draws on both the classic novel and the writings of Louisa May Alcott, and unfolds as the author’s alter ego, Jo March, reflects back and forth on her fictional life. In Gerwig’s take, the beloved story of the March sisters – four young women each determined to live life on her own terms -- is both timeless and timely. Portraying Jo, Meg, Amy, and Beth March, the film stars Saoirse Ronan, Emma Watson, Florence Pugh, Eliza Scanlen, with Timothée Chalamet as their neighbor Laurie, Laura Dern as Marmee, and Meryl Streep as Aunt March.
