It might have been filmed several times before, but Little Women is heading back to the screen in its latest adaptation – and it’s already being tipped for Oscar glory.
The newest take on Louisa May Alcott’s classic tale of the March sisters Meg, Beth, Jo and Amy boasts a pretty stellar cast and has already landed itself a pair of Golden Globe nominations, among them a best actress nod for Saoirse Ronan.
We’re expecting more awards recognition to follow for the film – but when can you see it for yourself?
Here’s what you need to know…
When is Little Women released in the UK?
Little Women will be released in UK cinemas on Boxing Day.
It’ll be released on over 300 screens across the country, so you shouldn’t have any trouble finding somewhere that’s showing it.
Provider: Columbia Pictures
The film runs for 135 minutes and has a U certificate, meaning it’s suitable for all ages – with the BBFC advising only that it contains ‘very mild threat’.
Who is in the cast of Little Women?
Saoirse Ronan could be on course for another Oscar nomination for her role as the feisty Jo March, who has ambitions of being a writer, and wants more from life than simply to fall in love and marry.
She’s joined in the cast by Emma Watson as oldest March sister Meg, Eliza Scanlen (Sharp Objects) as younger sister Beth and Florence Pugh (Midsommar) as youngest sibling Amy March.
And the big names don’t stop there, with Laura Dern also appearing as their mother – known as Marmee – and multiple-Oscar winner Meryl Streep as Aunt March.
Their male co-stars include Timothee Chalamet (Call Me By Your Name) as Jo’s love interest Laurie, while other cast members include Better Call Saul’s Bob Odenkirk, War and Peace actor James Norton and American Beauty’s Chris Cooper.
