warm but never wishy-washy, cosy without being cutesy, this is a superb adaptation of the source and further evidence that Greta Gerwig is the real deal
the Louisa May Alcott adapation is filled with beautiful performances and impeccable craftsmanship; Greta Gerwig's "Little Women" offers its own delightful storybook polish, in its own unique terms, and what a comfort that is
the look of the film itself is lovely, nearly every scene gorgeously composed and shot in soft painterly light, and the cast, from Laura Dern's delicately shaded Marmee to Timothee Chalamet's lovelorn Laurie, uniformly great
Saoirse Ronan and Emma Watson head a terrific all-star cast in a wonderfully warm, funny and heartfelt version of Louisa May Alcott's coming-of-age classic; This is such a beguiling, generous film from Greta Gerwig. There is a lot of love in it
in the hands of writer/director Greta Gerwig, the story of the March sisters is a tremendously resonant, sometimes heartbreaking and always entertaining hoot
Greta Gerwig has taken a treasured perennial of popular American literature and reshaped it for a new generation, which should give the captivating film a long shelf life
for the most part, though, this "Little Women" is two-odd hours of good cheer and lovely ensemble performances. It's a warm fireplace hearth of a film, albeit one with a tendency to spit out fiery embers
"Little Women" is ambitious and enchanting, and refreshingly renders a classic tale in non-linear fashion for a new generation of young girls everywhere
"Little Women" is a story about love, and why it needn't be sacrificed in the creative pursuit. But it's also about learning to speak from your heart---proudly, unabashedly, and honestly. Greta Gerwig does just that. Louisa May Alcott would be proud
