Plus, the movie makes it a point to center Laurie’s wistful longing for the beautiful camaraderie of the March women, rightfully turning on its head the common film trope of women longing after the adventures of men. He is gangly and awkward he’s charming and boyish and his rapport with Jo is just what it ought to be: giddy, brotherly, full of sentiment, and just the right amount of rough-and-tumble. But Timothée Chalamet ( Lady Bird ) truly embodies both the spirit and physicality of “the Laurence boy” in a way I (Debbie) have rarely witnessed. There have been some impressive Lauries over the years. Basically, Amy is the unsung hero of the March family and I am here for it! She sees the world as it is and decides to make the most of it for herself and her family it isn’t just about never being poor again, it’s about changing fate and taking charge of her life. To be honest, I always saw Amy as greedy and grasping (sorry, Amy fans!), but in this version I realized what she actually was: a survivor.
But Florence Pugh ( Lady Macbeth) showed Amy as a strong, savvy business woman, one that I never considered her character to be. I (Micah) will readily admit that Amy March was never my favorite. Basically, she’s human, but we love her anyway, and I (Micah) personally loved seeing a heroine onscreen with all of her victories and her failures on display, rather than watching another false ideal. Jo is vulnerable and uncertain of herself in spite of her boldness, and she’s keenly aware of her flaws. Saoirse Ronan’s ( Brooklyn) portrayal of Jo includes all the passion and ambition we love her for with a twist of pathos. Instead, for this newest adaptation, we’re going to offer up six reasons you should be excited to grab the popcorn and visit the March family in Concord, Massachusetts one more time… Since the story of Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy March is already so beloved, we won’t belabor the plot or speak too much on the timeless themes. First things first: we’re a little worried about giving you too many spoilers for Greta Gerwig’s ( Lady Bird ) new feature film of Louisa May Alcott’s beloved novel Little Women.Īnd let’s not kid ourselves, it’s pretty high praise when all three reviewers are concerned about spoilers for a story written in the 1860s, which has had dozens of adaptations across the stage, TV, and silver screen since the 1910s! But it’s 2020, and here we are.
