The 7th film adaptation of Louisa May Alcott's classic novel of the same name also happens to be the only one that I've seen so far and now I don't need to check out the previous versions anymore because Greta Gerwig's Little Women is an instant classic that impresses on all fronts while establishing her as a creative force to be reckoned with.
