Little Women is a genuinely lovely, affecting film that exudes such warmth for its characters and their hopes, dreams, and fears. It’s driven both by an understanding of sisterhood and by an understanding of what it means to want something as an individual. It lives in the complexities of human emotion and love, and in its most striking moments, highlights the dichotomy of trying to be independently headstrong and the oftentimes soul-crushing loneliness that accompanies being human. It’s at its core an all enveloping hug of a film, one that modernizes the well-tread story in a way that feels genuine and befits Gerwig’s sensibilities.
