#LITTLE WOMEN 2019 FULL MOVIE MOVIE#

If you can keep a handhold on the plot, Little Women is a heartfelt, uplifting movie you can happily lose yourself in, offering a respite from our own hard times. Gerwig even solves the bookРІР‚в„ўs irritating insistence on taming wild Jo, by creating a cheeky meta-solution that combines her role as a savvy author with her longing for love.

Raging ambition, unrequited love, sisterly jealousy and sharp grief light up the wholesome narrative like fireworks. Behind the pretty period wrappings lies a movie positively bursting with pent-up feelings. Her fervent defence of marriage as an economic proposition for wageless 19th-century women who were their fatherРІР‚в„ўs or husbandРІР‚в„ўs property gives the film a sobering shot of feminist rage. That said, Florence PughРІР‚в„ўs powerful portrayal of AmyРІР‚в„ўs journey from selfish, lime-sucking brat to sleek sophisticate is the filmРІР‚в„ўs star-making turn. But around them, a bevy of powerful performances from Ronan, Chalamet and Meryl Streep (as the gloriously sharp-tongued Aunt March) fire up every scene. Home-loving Meg, swept into an earnest sliver of romance with James NortonРІР‚в„ўs straight-laced tutor, doesnРІР‚в„ўt give Emma Watson much to chew on either.

Laura DernРІР‚в„ўs charming, slavery-hating Marmee also makes fewer appearances than youРІР‚в„ўd expect. Eliza ScanlenРІР‚в„ўs saintly, sickly Beth gets particularly shortchanged onР’В screentime, lacking the glowing goodness that Claire Danes brought to the РІР‚в„ў94 version.

Newcomers to Little Women risk occasional story confusion when similar events but dissimilar timescales are only differentiated by Girlish Loose Hair versus Adult Up-Dos, or nostalgic golden lighting rather than the later chillier look. ThereРІР‚в„ўs a downside, however, to GerwigРІР‚в„ўs breezy chopped-up plotting, and her decision to use the same cast for both girl and grown-up strands. Romping with the infatuated Laurie as teens, she creates a bickering, androgynous bond with him (in one delicious scene they dance like dervishes outside a posh party) whose piercing rows and reconciliations will spawn endless feverish fan-GIFS. She measures up differently but effortlessly to JoРІР‚в„ўs previous cinema incarnations, such as 1933РІР‚в„ўs headstrong Katharine Hepburn, or Winona RyderРІР‚в„ўs bookish 1994 outsider. Saoirse RonanРІР‚в„ўs fierce intensity as Jo, whom she fills with yearning tomboy frustration, also bowls the film along brilliantly. GerwigРІР‚в„ўs gorgeous, restless visuals and unstuffy dialogue ensure her domestic story has a defiantly modern vibe, aided by Alexandre DesplatРІР‚в„ўs subtly romantic orchestral score. WeРІР‚в„ўre plunged straight into family breadwinner JoРІР‚в„ўs publishing battles meanwhile, husband-hunting Amy (a riveting Florence Pugh) is the toast of Paris and newlywed Meg (a game Emma Watson) is adjusting to low-waged love. A smart way to make a much-told story feel fresh and relatable, it grabs us by laying out their tougher, more conflicted grown-up lives from the off. Like Francis Ha and Mistress America (which Gerwig co-wrote with Noah Baumbach), and her solo directorial bow Lady Bird, its restless heroines are bursting with creative ambitions (JoРІР‚в„ўs writing, MegРІР‚в„ўs acting, AmyРІР‚в„ўs painting) and hungry for new horizons.Р”В«ut GerwigРІР‚в„ўs most audacious gambit is splitting the sistersРІР‚в„ў girlhood and young-adult struggles into two interwoven timelines, linked by struggling New York writer Jo (a feisty Saoirse Ronan) musing on their childhood japes and dreams. And now thereРІР‚в„ўs writer/director Greta GerwigРІР‚в„ўs rich, lively and risk-taking adaptation, which finds stirring 21st-century resonances in the March sistersРІР‚в„ў coming-of-age quest for both freedom and love.
