Sony Pictures Home Entertainment has officially announced that it will release on Blu-ray Greta Gerwig's film Little Women (2019), starring Saoirse Ronan, Emma Watson, Florence Pugh, Eliza Scanlen, and Laura Dern. The release will be available for purchase on April 7.
Synopsis:
Writer-director Greta Gerwig (Lady Bird) has crafted a LITTLE WOMEN that draws on both the classic novel and the writings of Louisa May Alcott, and unfolds as the author's alter ego, Jo March, reflects back and forth on her fictional life. Gerwig's take on the beloved story of the March sisters—four young women each determined to live life on their own terms—is both timeless and timely. Portraying Jo, Meg, Amy and Beth March, the film stars Saoirse Ronan, Emma Watson, Florence Pugh and Eliza Scanlen, with Timothée Chalamet as their neighbor Laurie, Laura Dern as Marmee and Meryl Streep as Aunt March.
In addition to earning the praise of critics worldwide with a Rotten Tomatoes "Certified Fresh" rating of 95%, the film has been honored with an Academy Award for Best Costume Design plus five nominations including Best Picture, Best Writing (Adapted Screenplay), and Best Music (Original Score). Saoirse Ronan's transcendent performance earned her a nomination for Best Actress in a Leading Role, while Florence Pugh's nuanced and insightful take on the character of Amy earned her a nod for Best Actress in a Supporting Role. LITTLE WOMEN is only the third Best Picture nominee in history to have been written, directed and produced entirely by female filmmakers.
