Plot: An agoraphobic woman living alone in New York City starts spying on her new neighbors, only to witness a disturbing act of violence...

An agoraphobic child psychologist (Adams) befriends a neighbor across the street from her New York City brownstone, only to see her own life turned upside down when the woman disappears and she suspects foul play. A stellar ensemble cast brings Tracy Letts’ screenplay based on the gripping, best-selling novel to life, where shocking secrets are revealed, and no one—and nothing—is what it seems.

Yet another one in the endless line of film adaptations based on books by Louisa May Alcott.
I actually had this novel assigned as required reading back in college, though I never actually sat down to read it... 🙂
Honestly, the whole movie feels nauseating because of how loud and obnoxious the names are—which clearly explains why it’s so overhyped. Especially with that certain vibe from 'Call Me by Your Name'.

This isn't the first time this story has hit the big screen—there have been several versions—but this latest one is under a massive microscope simply because of the brilliant director Greta Gerwig, who is riding high after "Lady Bird" and is currently busy working on the "Barbie" adaptation.

Each of the protagonists is basically just trying to find themselves while dealing with the usual grind, like being broke and bickering with their mothers. The cast features Florence Pugh as Amy March, Saoirse Ronan playing the young writer Jo March, Timothée Chalamet as Theodore Laurence, Emma Watson as Meg March, Laura Dern showing off her range as Marmee March, and even the Academy Awards winner Meryl Streep lends her talent to this one.
