Greta Gerwig’s adaptation of the novel will hit theaters this Christmas and judging by Gerwig’s past work—which includes Lady Bird—and the phenomenal cast of leading ladies, Little Women is shaping up to be a must-watch film this year that will (hopefully) earn some Oscar nods come awards season. At one point, Saorise's character passionately belts out a moving monologue. "Women, they have minds, and they have souls, as well as just hearts, and they’ve got ambition, and they’ve got talent. As well as just beauty. I’m so sick of people saying that love is just all women is fit for! I’m so sick of it," she says.
