Little Women

SOMEDAY WE WILL ALL KNOW HOW TO PRONOUNCE SAOIRSE RONAN’S NAME

Saoirse Ronan arrived at a morning show in London to discuss her movie Little Women, and she’s appropriately attired in pajamas. (Even SHE pronounces her name in several ways – depending who she’s talking to) She’s only 25, but Saoirse has already been nominated for THREE Oscars and she won Best Actress for Brooklyn (which we LOVED) a few years ago. Little Women got her a Golden Globe nomination this year, but Renee Zellweger will be hard to beat. People are already calling Saoirse the next Meryl Streep , and we have to agree.

GRETA GERWIG’S “LITTLE WOMEN” IS A FILM YOU HAVEN’T SEEN BEFORE

We always loved Greta Gerwig as an actress- now we love her as a director too! Greta took Louisa May Alcott’s book Little Women and, along with Sarah Polley, dared to write the next chapter in the lives of the beloved March sisters, and it WORKS! A peek into the lives of four American sisters who lived during and after the civil war is fascinating and the best kind of history lesson. Despite the insurmountable challenges for women, who were LESS than second class citizens in those days, the story is fun, and the sisters are as lovable and relatable as ever. Whatever made Charlie’s Angels director Elizabeth Banks think women would want to see ANOTHER version of that objectifying TV series – especially written by MEN?
