This new screen adaptation from writer-director Greta Gerwig (Lady Bird) draws on the celebrated novel by Louisa May Alcott, in a refreshing take on classic literature that is both faithful to its beautiful source material and strikingly original.
The beloved story of the March sisters – four young women each determined to live life on her own terms – as they come of age in America through difficult and changing times, during the aftermath of the Civil War.
With an incredible cast including Florence Pugh (Midsommar, Lady Macbeth), Saoirse Ronan (Lady Bird, The Grand Budapest Hotel), Emma Watson (The Bling Ring), Eliza Scanlen (Sharp Objects, Babyteeth), Timothee Chalamet (Call Me By Your Name, Lady Bird), Meryl Streep (The Post, Suffragette) and Laura Dern (Marriage Story, Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Blue Velvet), Little Women is a late entry into 2019 but will likely become one of the cinema highlights of the year.
