Rated solidly PG. No cussing.
Before you see Greta Gerwig’s take on Louisa May Alcott’s classic feminist novel later this week, gobble up our chat about Gillian Armstrong’s 25-year-old version. The Next 176 Project throws a big hug around Winona Ryder and her fellow March girls (especially Claire Danes) because your contract as a human pretty much demands you fall in love with lovely people like these. Ryder’s effervescent performance as Jo makes even her romance with a miscast Gabriel Byrne almost believable. So be your independent self and start yuletiding our merry little words.
For The Record: Apologies to Florence Pugh for calling her “Francis”. Also, Ryder’s list of impressive pre-1994 credits should have included Edward Scissorhands and The Age Of Innocence.
