New version of Louisa M Alcott's classic novel about the 4 March sisters looking for love and a substantial life in 19th Century Massachusetts.
Greta Gerwig has produced another fine film cleverly incorporating modern themes around feminism and equality within a story structure that moves away from the standard linear approach and puts events around the lives of the sisters in a weaving structure of overlaid set pieces and flashbacks. This all works very cleverly without messing the source material about and plays out superbly by a stellar cast with surely a number of awards beckoning, particularly for Florence Pugh.
