Tra i titoli autunnali più attesi in orizzonte premi, l’adattamento cinematografico di Piccole donne scritto e pi diretto dalla candidata all’Oscar Greta Gerwig è stato mostrato alla Screen Actors Guild nella sua prima serie di proiezioni in anteprima per l’industria hollywoodiana.
L’adattamento del celebre romanzo omonimo di Louisa May Alcott con un super-cast femminile capitanato da Saoirse Ronan, Florence Pugh, Emma Watson, Eliza Scanlen, Laura Dern e Meryl Streep arriverà nelle sale statunitensi a partire dal 25 dicembre con Focus Features, mentre da noi il 30 gennaio con la distribuzione di Universal Pictures.
Le prime reazioni a caldo di stampa e industria sono state estremamente positive, dunque è lecito aspettarsi alcune candidature importanti verso la fine dell’anno, se non addirittura un pieno di nomination da parte dell’Academy. Ecco alcune delle reaction più significative:
Little Women is charming if not a wee bit long. Saoirse Ronan and Florence Pugh are the standout performances. Best Picture nominee…maybe?— Gregory Ellwood – The Playlist 🎬 (@TheGregoryE) October 24, 2019
Saoirse Ronan is going to land her fourth Academy Award nomination for #LittleWomen at the age of 25. In related news, I needed a two-hour nap today after stubbing my toe.— Jenelle Riley (@jenelleriley) October 24, 2019
Little Women has a very strong last third, great cinematography and a modern interpretation of the novel that shines brightly. I liked her take on it even when it is hard to follow re: flashbacks. Acting good but Flo Pugh and Streep are standouts.— Sasha Stone (@AwardsDaily) October 24, 2019
For my money, the MVP in LITTLE WOMEN is Florence Pugh. Hot off of MIDSOMMAR, Pugh is having a great year, and she’s hilarious and winning as Amy, the character best served by Gerwig’s structural gambits.— Kyle Buchanan (@kylebuchanan) October 24, 2019
The last three Best Picture winners—MOONLIGHT, THE SHAPE OF WATER, GREEN BOOK—end happily and portrayed the world as ultimately hopeful.Greta Gerwig’s LITTLE WOMEN is the first movie of the year that does just that. So…front runner? (It’s inventive and wonderful.)

Saoirse Ronan makes all this look easy, once again proves, she is one of our most gifted actresses working.Alexandre Desplat’s musical score is undoubtedly not just one of the best compositions of the year, but one of the crowning achievements of his career. #LittleWomenMovie

So I’ve seen Little Women twice now and it’s one of my very favorite movies of the year. Greta Gerwig delivers a both passionately faithful and gorgeously original take. Saoirse is a fierce Jo, Chalamet/Dern/Streep esp are great in support, and Florence Pugh is astonishing.— David Canfield (@davidcanfield97) October 24, 2019
