Movie Review (English)
When an
excellent director along with a host of excellent actors make a movie based on
a book which was a runaway success in its time, you do get an excellent movie.
Many, many years ago when I had
read the book, Little Women, I had taken time and allowed the four sisters and
their mother to make themselves at home within me. The movie does not have that
advantage. It has to move at a brisk pace and make changes wherever required.
So, in that sense I felt like a stranger in the March household in the movie.
But I did enjoy myself.
I am glad the movie was directed and written by Greta
Gerwig. She has done so with all the sensibilities required to bring alive the
spirit of Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women. I loved the powerful cinematography and the thought out edits. The constant movement back and forth into the past and the present was wonderfully done. Somehow the colours of the past seem much brighter and the characters more lively.

Ronan, Emma Watson, Florence Pugh, Eliza Scanlen, Laura Dern, Timothee Chalamet
and all the others, thanks for bringing the book and its characters to life so
beautifully!!
