Little Women Review

Based on the novel by Louisa May Alcott. It is the seventh film adaption on the novel that suggests the popularity and favoritism of the story and how much material remained in it, that everyone was describing their own adaptive version.

The century-old novel turns into a feature and the modernity of it yet ineffable. The story that is still alive, relevant and breathing aloud heavily. Six films have already been made on the same subject and still, Greta wants to narrate her own version and perspective in her language.

Greta sharing Academy nomination for Best Film with her partner, Noah's Marriage Story. Also, nominated for the Best-Adapted Screenplay.

Greta Gerwig comes after LADY BIRD with a decent lovingly drama of the year which talks about women, their desires, their struggles, hope, Independence and everything they can share.

Greta talks about when women don't count or have any weight of their own (Money, Beliefs, Desires). Their essential objective to look beautiful and get married to the wealthy guy to spend the rest of their life well-off. In search of respect for their spaces and the delinquency of the society towards women witnessed by some powerful dialogues and small monologues.

Amy breaks the fourth wall, dares to meet eyes with the audience and complaining about their negligence and values of women in society -

I'm not a poet, I'm just a woman,
And as a woman, there is no way for me to make my own money ..

Celebrate the talent over beauty and femininity. Pursuing the ownership of your desires, suffering and surviving through poverty-stricken situations & spreading love and hopes even when you've none. The story of four sisters, equally talented and full of beans. One is writer, Jo, other is a painter, Amy, an actress, Meg, and the little one Bent, the pianist. Their father is serving in the army for his nation and the wholehearted mother, succouring the needy even when they didn't have much to share. But what's the outcome was rewarding.

Love grows, when shared and reflected ..

The story was beautiful but what makes this film a remarkable piece of Cinema was its powerful ingenious crisp and sharp editing (by Nick Houy). How the pieces set from the start to finish, only share the minimum amount of information (that is required) about the plot. And keeps you involve throughout because the edits are so crisp that it might be confusing if missed or not paying attention to and leaves you thinking, about the chronology of the events of the film. The scenes laid forward on the track only when needed or talked about following the plot.

This keeps the story moves forward and answering your questions about the plot. This nonlinear narrative structure shows the subtle intentions of the director and didn't make it bore or muddy. The rhythm of the family and bonding between the sisters were emotionally engaging and there was a moment when their father returns from the war after so long and everybody (includes us - the audience) was surprised and excited by seeing him and keeps us surrounded with that happy moment and feels like we belong to this family.

Laura Dern past a great year with Marriage Story.
Saoirse Ronan, is eye-catchingly impressive after Brooklyn & Florence Pugh gave three back to back brilliant performances, Midsommar, unrecognizable in Fighting With My Family and now this. Was also excited to watch her in Black Widow with Scarlett Johnson.
