Greta Gerwig's take on the story

The director tells EW and People, 'We wanted it to feel like the movie feels, which is both classical and fresh.'

'But it's really about these characters and these relationships that have meant so much to me.'

She goes on, 'And then it’s also infused with this mutual energy and this exuberance.'

'And I think that that’s what the actors brought to the film and that’s what cinematography captured.'

'We wanted it to feel light on its feet and even though it does take place in the 19th Century we in no way wanted it to feel like it was something that was past.'

'We wanted it to feel like it was present right now.'

Little Women is out this Christmas.
