{5\/5} “You wouldn’t actually marry one of these men, would you?”<\/p>\n
Little Women<\/strong>, released in 2019<\/p>\n Meg March wants to wear pretty dresses, go dancing, and get married. Her sister Jo wants to be a writer, but will dance if the occasion permits. Amy wants to go to Paris and become an artist. Beth, a talented pianist, just wants the family to be together — including their father who has joined the Union army. The girls perform plays that Jo writes. When their mother asks her girls to donate their Christmas breakfast to a poor family nearby, they agree.<\/p>\n There’s a flashforward at the beginning that will make you think you’ve dropped into the middle of the story — keep watching.<\/p>\n It’s about sisters who are all different but what they have in common is each other. The dialogue amongst the sisters is delightful.<\/p>\n I like when Laurie offers Jo his arm — instead of taking it, Jo punches him and takes Meg’s arm. The conversation Jo has with her mother about anger is astonishing.<\/p>\n It’s a beautiful story, filmed beautifully.<\/p>\n Saoirse Ronan is mesmerizing, as always — here she heads a fabulous cast.<\/p>\n
