Little Women

This afternoon I went to the South bank Cinema where I saw the movie Little Women which it's the 7th film Adaptation of it. Jo March (Saoirse Ronan along with her sisters Meg (Emma Watson), Amy (Florence Pugh) and Beth (Eliza Scanlen)live in Massachusetts which their father is fighting in the Civil War and they have plans to do things in their lives which Jo wants to be a writer, Amy an painter, Meg an actress and Beth playing the piano and then they get friendly with Theodore "Laurie" Lawrence (Timothee Chalamet) who lives with his grandfather Mr Lawrence (Chris Cooper) and tutor John Brooke (James Norton) which then Laurie has an liking for jo while John for Meg. Then their lives change when Marmee (Laura Dern) goes to her husband who is sick, Beth then has scarlet fever, Meg marries John and Amy goes to Europe with Aunt March(Meryl Streep) and then it gets interesting. It's FANTASTIC, BRILLIANT and SUPERB as well as touching with FANTASTIC and BRILLIANT acting by Saoirse Ronan, Emma Watson, Florence Pugh, Eliza Scanlen, Laura Dern, Meryl Streep, Timothee Chalamet, Chris Cooper, James Norton, Bob Odenkirk who plays the March's father Louis Garrel who plays Professor Frederich Bhaer. it's directed by Greta Gerwig who also did the screenplay and had with Saoirse Ronan in the movie Lady Bird in 2017 and it was produced by Amy Pascal, Denise Di Novi and Robin Swicord. this version is just as good as the other versions including 1933, 1949 and 1994 and they do it differently in this version which it's a good thing as well as the cast playing those roles the way they do it. I am giving this 5 stars and it's in the cinemas now so do yourselves an favour and SEE IT which you will be impressed.
