Gerwig’s Little Women has all the hallmarks of becoming a beloved Christmas movie, and one that can be enjoyed by not only for little women, but for little men too.
| Original Score: A | Jul 31, 2024
Gerwig does not condemn nor condone love and marriage; every character has their own viewpoints and opinions, and their respective struggles make this one of the most moving movie experiences of 2019.

Gerwig is more than just one of the best female directors working today; she is one of the best directors working today, period.

Though Little Women's talented cast provides more than one noteworthy, giggle-inducing moment, the movie's stylistic choices get in the way of letting any real emotion get through to the audience.

Greta Gerwig’s interpretation of Louisa May Alcott’s classic novel Little Women is a joyous and sensitive celebration of family, girlhood, and the resilience of women.
| Original Score: A | Sep 17, 2023
Gerwig has an incredible ability to create movies that feel lived-in and welcoming. It’s as if the actors and sets existed long before the cameras started rolling and will continue to exist long after they have stopped.

Saoirse Ronan, Florence Pugh, and Timothée Chalamet not only deliver the best performances of the film, but their characters carry the most compelling arcs. It's remarkable the level of detail, complexity, and depth that each character has.
| Original Score: B+ | Jul 24, 2023
Little Women is a touching, time-hopping, tour de force of storytelling and filmmaking craft, with a playful, feminist twist.

Greta Gerwig’s third film stands as one of the true-blue masterpieces to come out of the 2010s, and it’s probably the best adaptation of Little Women we’ll ever get.

A gorgeous and very warm film…. What makes this version impressive is that it brings a different perspective without losing the magic of the novel.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 21, 2022
2019's feel good movie. With some of Desplat's magic in the score and impressive acting. But the movie feels too much "in your face" and has a weird story structure. In a year of incredible movies, this is pretty forgettable. [Full review in Spanish]

This is no museum piece. Gerwig’s direction is energetic and confident, and her script is thoroughly modern and fractures the narrative.
