Saoirse Ronan reunites with LadyBird writer-director Greta Gerwig to play the heroine of Louisa May Alcott's American classic. Read the review for LittleWomenMovie:
Graduating from an intimate portrait of the rocky rites of passage of contemporary female adolescence to a considerably larger-scale ensemble piece depicting the path to maturity of four sisters in 19th century Massachusetts, Greta Gerwig shows that her own assured transition to writer-director with 2017'sbrings freshness, vitality and emotional nuance to source material which has been etched for generations into the popular imagination, shaking up the chronology to reinvigorate the...
Gerwig's screenplay begins with Jo already living independently in a New York boarding house, sending money home to her family from tutoring jobs. The turning point that will shape her future comes when she sells her first story to Mr. Dashwood , editor of the, though despite the giveaway of her ink-stained fingers, Jo insists she's submitting the work "for a friend" and asks that it be published anonymously.
Before jumping back seven years to parallel the sisters' experience as young adults with their adolescence in Concord, Gerwig plants the seeds of romance between Jo and her boarding house acquaintance Friedrich Bhaer , a language professor from France . But that blossoming mutual attraction gets interrupted when he bluntly criticizes one of her stories of duels and adventures, telling her to write about something she knows.
The most beloved episodes of the story all are given commensurate breathing space and confident handling — the burned manuscript, the near drowning, the fancy debutante ball attended by Meg, the alarmed departure of Marmee for Washington when her husband is taken ill. The chemistry between Ronan and Chalamet is charming throughout — reversing the traditional gender types, she's all striding certainty and determination, quick to anger; he's loose, lollopy and mellow, his reed-like body dancing around her as he flirts and teases without entirely surrendering his playful aloofness.
