"...It's a cute enough idea-apply millennial attitudes to Louisa May Alcott's 19th-century classic Little Women. In Chiara Atik's version, the traditional narrative is infused with 21st-century awareness of race and gender. Jo (Aziza Macklin), for example, declares herself a lesbian, rejecting Laurie (Joe Lino) and refusing to "capitulate to the shackles" of her gender. Eventually she moves to New York to become a writer; her older sister Meg (Emily Lindberg) stays home having babies and becoming increasingly hostile."
