Director: Greta Gerwig
Fresh from her smash coming-of-age dramedy Lady Bird, Oscar-nominated writer-director-actress Greta Gerwig could have done anything. She chose to adapt and direct Louisa May Alcott’s 1868 landmark novel Little Women, reuniting with Saoirse Ronan as aspiring writer and independent thinker Jo March. The 14th movie version (after the two most popular ones, Gillian Armstrong’s in 1994 and Mervyn LeRoy’s in 1949), it’s an expansive prestige period piece, faithful to the novel’s girl-power spirit while confronting the society’s financial and intellectual inequality sharply and vividly. Perhaps, as an independent artist like Jo, Gerwig wanted to prove she could succeed commercially, by directing a big-budget studio film.
