I quite enjoyed the 1933 version, found the 1949 one somewhat dull by comparison. Haven’t seen the others. I expect the latest one probably has a lot of feminist stuff in it. When I read the book as a child, Part 2 was published separately as ‘Good Wives’ and I always found it dull compared to part one, which has all the fun bits. If I was to give out a caveat of Gerwig’s version, is that it does appear that some of the tone is making a minor parallel to how things were for women in the era portrayed, as though women today still have to contend with similar issues. It is not sledgehammered though, but Gerwig being feminist, it was bound to come through. None of the male characters are condescended too. Jo March is a very strong headed woman and is costumed with a masculine touch. She does look great though. The film is handsomely mounted and terrifically acted and scripted. I have nothing but praise for Gerwig over her presentation.
