The story unfolds as the author’s alter ego, Jo March, reflects back and forth on her fictional life. In this take, the beloved story of the March sisters — four young women each determined to live life on her own terms — is both timeless and timely. (Sony Pictures)

I'll be honest, I was expecting a movie that might change my life. But even though I thought it was a nice flick and I liked the girls, it didn't happen. There is no need to debate the performances, they are so natural and convincing that I completely forgot about all the actresses' previous roles and for a while I just saw them as Little Women. Slightly less perfect, in my opinion, was the script. It made it difficult for me to orient myself in time, so I gave up after a while and instead of enjoying the story I just enjoyed watching the atmosphere, the costumes, and basically a female world where the male element intrudes a little less than we’re used to.

Through the avalanche of girls chirping and shouting, Little Women shot for sincere deeds, plot twists, or surprised tears. I sensed that the sought-after adaptation might enchant me, but that it would be a versatile spectacle that would soften the hearts of even the most hardened is a surprise of the most pleasant kind. Moreover, the entire cast is perfectly cast, and I would love to see them in all the upcoming costume dramas. This is, after all, a mutual chemistry that comes along once in a generation.

Beautiful film, really beautiful. There are so many moments in it that other filmmakers would use in other films to try at least to move me or completely blow me away, but Greta Gerwig doesn't need to. Everything in the Marches' story was meant to have an effect on me, and yet I still had that satisfied feeling. It wasn't overly melancholy, it wasn't extra sad, it wasn't tragic. It was just beautiful. As for the cast, as expected, Saoirse Ronan absolutely reigns and is once again amazing in every minute, however I was surprised by Emma Watson, who made a real impression on me for perhaps the first time since Harry Potter.

This story of four sisters coming of age in the mid-nineteenth century and figuring out what they want out of life is surprisingly relevant in the twenty-first century. In it, Greta Gerwig gives space to the actresses in particular, who certainly don't let her down, and she handles the touching and funny scenes with complete ease. An honest and entertaining modern adaptation of a literary classic. It's just a pity that it is perhaps unnecessarily cold and aloof in its first half.

The 1994 adaptation of Louisa May Alcott's classic novel impressed me a little more than this movie directed by Greta Gerwig. Nevertheless, I cannot deny the movie's impressive portrayal of the atmosphere of a bygone era, its excellent cast and the acting performances. The costume design is also undoubtedly praiseworthy. But to be honest, I don't really understand the source of the general fascination with this romantic story, which I always found rather boring. (65%)
