Vincent_VangJune 30, 2025
Vincent_VangJune 30, 2025In the film, the publisher tells Jo March, “If the main character is a girl, make sure she’s married by the end. Or dead, either way.” This echoes the real-life experience of Little Women author Louisa May Alcott. Alcott stayed unmarried her entire life and never wanted Jo to be bound by marriage. Yet, under her publisher’s pressure, she wrote an ending she didn’t believe in—Jo meets her prince charming and chooses marriage and motherhood. The 1933, 1949, and 1994 adaptations all follow that same path. Alcott herself noted that people constantly asked whom Jo would marry, as if that were a woman’s only goal. It wasn’t until the 2019 adaptation that Jo March finally took a different route—honoring Alcott’s true vision—by staying single and achieving success on her own terms. That small but powerful change took 150 years to come to life. It shows how far women’s roles have advanced: there’s no longer any need to compromise with publishers, and marriage is no longer seen as a woman’s sole destiny.

GustavobizzzJune 30, 2025The cast is fantastic, brimming with youthful energy, and the overall tone of the story is light and cheerful. After watching, I thought that true social equality would be achieved when women no longer need to reject marriage to express their independence and freedom.

Don_GuerraSeptember 24, 2024I finished the film out of love for the original novel, but the ending was a huge disappointment. In the book, Jo finds a soulmate in a much older professor, but the film turns it into a clichéd youngster romance, undermining Jo’s independent spirit and autonomy.

Brendan_HensleySeptember 24, 2024Saoirse Ronan's performance is decent but lacks standout moments. Emma Watson’s expressions don’t seem like those of a young girl; instead, she looks weary. Despite the criticism of the actors, the film’s real failure lies in the writing, direction, and editing. The film is overly long and tedious, with the time-jumping narrative being more irritating than engaging.

Lautaro LNovember 24, 2021A great adaptation to the classic book
A script is well adapted when the essence of the original story is maintained while including new elements that are fresh to the plot. Greta Gerwig's Little Women perfectly fulfills the previous premise. The director manages to give her personal touch, including critical contributions, feminist approaches and more dramatic situations, through the constant passage between the past and the present of the protagonists, but at the same time, she manages to maintain the sweetness and life lessons that characterize the literary work published in 1868.

Esteban EordoghApril 21, 2026Mira, te soy sincero: entrar a ver otra versión de Mujercitas se sentía casi como un compromiso familiar. Ya conocemos la historia, sabemos quién se enferma, quién se corta el pelo y quién termina con quién. Pero lo que hizo Greta Gerwig en 2019 no fue sólo "otra adaptación"; fue como si le quitara el polvo a un cuadro viejo y nos dejara ver que los colores siempre estuvieron ahí, vibrando.
Aquí te cuento por qué esta película me llegó de una forma que no esperaba:
La sensación de "hogar" (y el caos)
Lo primero que notas es que la casa de las March no es un set de museo. Hay gente hablando una encima de otra, ropa tirada, peleas reales y ese calorcito de hogar que casi puedes oler a través de la pantalla. No se siente como una película de época tiesa; se siente como un domingo en tu casa cuando toda la familia decide aparecerse sin avisar.
Jo y Amy: El alma del asunto
Jo (Saoirse Ronan): Es magnética. Esa urgencia que tiene por ser alguien, por escribir, por no pertenecerle a nadie... se siente dolorosamente moderna. La escena donde dice que está harta de que digan que el amor es lo único para lo que sirve una mujer, pero confiesa que se siente sola, es de esas que te dejan un nudo en la garganta.
Amy (Florence Pugh): Aquí es donde la película me ganó. Siempre nos enseñaron a odiar a Amy por caprichosa, pero Florence Pugh le da una humanidad increíble. Te explica que su pragmatismo no es maldad, sino supervivencia en un mundo donde ella no tiene propiedades ni voz.
Por fin, Amy tiene sentido.
La estructura: Un rompecabezas emocional
El cambio más arriesgado fue mezclar el pasado (tonos dorados, cálidos) con el presente (tonos azules, fríos). Al principio puede marear un poco, pero cuando entiendes que estamos viendo los recuerdos de Jo frente a su realidad adulta, el impacto emocional es doble. Te pega justo en la nostalgia de lo que significa crecer y perder la inocencia.
Lo que no me convenció tanto
Si tengo que ser quisquilloso, a veces Timothée Chalamet (Laurie) es demasiado Timothée Chalamet. Es encantador, sí, pero hubo momentos en los que sentí que estaba viendo a un chico de Instagram en 1860. Nada grave, pero me sacó un poquito del trance.
Conclusión
Es una película que celebra la ambición femenina, el duelo y el amor en todas sus formas (no solo el romántico). Salí del cine con ganas de llamar a mis hermanos y, extrañamente, con ganas de ponerme a escribir algo importante.
Evaluación:
💫 💫 💫 💫 💫 (5 de 5 estrellas)
Es una joya redonda. Si no lloras con el final del libro de Jo, probablemente necesites revisar si todavía tienes corazón.
