We chat with the direc­tor and stars Saoirse Ronan, Flo­rence Pugh and Tim­o­th­ée Chalamet.

Sweet but nev­er sac­cha­rine, Gre­ta Gerwig’s Lit­tle Women is a com­ing-of-age sto­ry told with infec­tious enthu­si­asm and pal­pa­ble atten­tion to detail.

This comes as no sur­prise, giv­en Gerwig’s love for Louisa May Alcott’s sem­i­nal Amer­i­can nov­el, and in com­bin­ing her enthu­si­asm for the source mate­r­i­al with a stel­lar cast includ­ing Saoirse Ronan, Flo­rence Pugh and Tim­o­th­ee Cha­la­met, she has cre­at­ed that rarest of lit­er­ary adap­ta­tions: some­thing that is faith­ful to its ori­gins while also feel­ing fresh and bold.

We sat down with Gre­ta and co to quiz them on the books they loved as chil­dren, as well as their favourite scene and what they most enjoy about work­ing together.

Watch the inter­view clips below and see Lit­tle Women in cin­e­mas 26 December.
