Saoirse Ronan is brilliant as Jo March, in Greta Gerwig’s fresh, funny and pertinent adaptation of the classic novel about the four March sisters. Laura Dern is Marmee, the resilient mum who will do all to protect her four daughters, while also preparing them for futures in which they can have some independence, despite Victorian mores. Jo reflects back and forth on her life as she looks to getting her first novel published.
