Little women book6/6/2023 In addition to the path of a woman in the world of movie-making, Gerwig inscribes another personal theme: the relationship of an artist to her family. In short, a time very much like today in Hollywood. In this way, Gerwig’s “Little Women” is the tale of the birth of an artist-a female artist at a time that’s hostile to women and the telling of stories of women’s lives from women’s point of view. Namely, in Gerwig’s thrillingly bold reconfiguration of “Little Women,” the writing of the novel is built into the story-and the author isn’t Alcott but the novel’s protagonist, Jo March (played by Saoirse Ronan). It’s odd to begin a review of a movie based on a work as familiar as “ Little Women” with a warning about spoilers, but one of the most original inspirations that Greta Gerwig, as writer and director, brings to her adaptation of Louisa May Alcott’s novel is a conceit that needs to be revealed in order to make sense of the movie at all.
