I’m sorry but I just thought it was boring. It has a couple charming moments and it’s undoubtedly filled with amazing performances but it just doesn’t have a story that I can remember. Very bland in my opinion.

This was my favourite film of the season, primarily because of the artistry of Greta Gerwig and the skill of the performers. Saoirse Ronan and Emma Watson were brilliant, as I expected them to be, but, Florence Pugh and Eliza Scanlen were new discoveries for me (and I have already begun to enthusiastically follow their filmography). Laura Dern brought a gravitas to the nurturing, generous Marmee that deepened the character. When I saw that Meryl…

I'm allergic to time jumps back and forth, back and forth and this movie has a lot of it and it ruins the movie completely, and they really have removed a lot of story. Especially noticeable after having watched the 3h miniseries and the movie from 1994 in the last month.

I'll say right up front that I am not "burdened" (that doesn't feel like the right word) by having an intimate knowledge of the book so my review is not affected positively or negatively by the director's interpretation of the original work. That said.... I really loved it. While the jumping between timelines seemed somewhat arbitrary at first towards the end of the movie it all started to come together. It doesn't always work but when it does…

How many versions of this movie do we need? If you've read the book you might like this film. But if you haven't it's pure torture that seems to run forever. There's no clear plot or direction, just random segments assembled without reference to chronology. After battling to stay awake for hours asking myself "what was the point?"

3 Thoughts After Watching ‘Little Women’: 1. I didn’t love it. I didn’t hate it. Wasn’t familiar with the story. Went in for the cast, came out reaffirming that this just isn’t my kind of film. 2. The movie struggled to hold my attention for the first half, but proceeded to grab me in towards the end. 3. I wish I liked it more. The cast is superb.

Little Women (2019) is a period film but it manages to feel so modern and fresh, maybe due to the fact that it touches upon topics that are relevant to us, now. Even though I've never read the book, I'm aware of its significance, and I'm certain Greta Gerwig did an excellent job adapting it. Honestly, I feel like I could rewatch this a thousand times and still love it, but I recommend you watch it at least once, because it's definitely worth it.

Other than the inaccurate title - these women are all over 5 foot - this is a good film, with a great cast and excellent work from Gerwig as director. Fans of the source work will especially enjoy the movie.
