Little Women
New York City teacher Jo March (Saoirse
Ronan) reflects on a life in which her sister
Amy (Florence Pugh) studies painting in Paris.
Meanwhile, the eldest March sibling, Meg
(Emma Watson), is married to a schoolteacher
and shy sister Beth (Eliza Scanlen) suffers a
serious illness.FIVE FACTS:
- This is writer-director Greta Gerwig’s film
adaptation of Louisa May Alcott’s 1868 novel
of the same name. - Coincidentally, Alcott herself was recently
depicted on-screen by Zosia Mamet in the
Apple TV+ series Dickinson, starring Hailee
Steinfeld as the poet Emily Dickinson. - Controversially, despite the film’s critical
and commercial success, Gerwig was denied
an Academy Award nomination for her
directorial work here. - The Columbia Pictures logo opening this
film is actually the 1990s version – a nod to
the 1994 film adaptation of Little Women,
with which Columbia was also involved. - Emma Stone was lined up to play Meg, but
scheduling conflicts with the promotional
drive for 2018’s The Favorite led her to drop
out of the role.
