Little Women is an American film written and directed by Greta Gerwig. It is the seventh film adaptation of the 1868 novel by Louisa May Alcott. It chronicles the lives of the March sisters Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy. Meg is the most mature of the sisters, Jo wants to become a writer, Amy is frivolous and Beth is very sensitive and loves music. Their father is away, because he’s a soldier during the Civil War. The story is set in Massachusetts in winter. The scenes proposed by Greta are very accurate and the story is very similar to the book. The critics were very favourable and the film received six Oscar nominations. It is an ageless story that expresses the value of women and their ability to deal with problems.
