This movie snuck up on me. Period pieces don't generally appeal to me, add that it's about four sisters, a life experience I have not even come close to having, Little Women was on my radar simply because of the cast and writer/director Greta Gerwig. I totally loved Lady Bird and I figured that despite it not exactly seeming like my type of movie I should see Little Women.

Boy, what a total idiot I am. I fell absolutely in…
