“I want to be great or nothing.”
The Big Picture Each of the four March sisters in Louisa May Alcott’s classic novel Little Women are vastly different and complex young women with unique personalities and ambitions. While every film adaptation of the book handles the girls a little differently and crafts a new retelling of the story, the common thread that seems to run through all of them is that Amy kind of sucks.
Greta Gerwig doesn’t shy away from the less flattering parts of Amy’s story and instead allows them to be a part of her. Amy is allowed to be a kid, but she also has the chance to learn from her mistakes and grow from them. Gerwig also offers Amy more kind moments that allow her to bond with her sisters, such as when she comforts Jo after she cuts off all of her hair.
Furthermore, when Beth actually dies in the book, Amy stays in Europe for a while because it’s too late for her to say goodbye anyway, and it’s easier to stay away. She also fails to return home in most of the film adaptations, with the PBS series Amy telling Laurie that she can’t even cry over her sister.
