Director and writer Greta Gerwig (Lady Bird) brings together an incredible cast including Saoirse Ronan, Meryl Streep, Timothée Chalamet, Emma Watson, Laura Dern and Florence Pugh for her second feature film.
Little Women follows the lives of four sisters - Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy March - charting their journey from childhood to womanhood. Despite harsh times, they cling to optimism, and as they mature, they face blossoming ambitions and relationships, as well as tragedy, while maintaining their unbreakable bond as sisters.
