Ever since Lady Bird writer-director Greta Gerwig announced she was doing an adaptation of Little Women, book nerds everywhere* have (impatiently) waited for a first REAL look at the film.
βI could never love anyone as I love my sisters.β - Louisa May Alcott, @LittleWomen β β β β β β β β β π From left: Meg March, Greta Gerwig (director), Jo March, Amy March, Beth March and Laurie (Theodore Laurence).

So β just in case you've never attended an English literature class in your life β here's a little background info: Little Women is a coming-of-age drama based on the beloved novel of the same name by Louisa May Alcott.
The story follows the March sisters β Meg, Amy, Beth, and Jo β who are navigating life in the US in the postβCivil War era.
Okay β with all of that formal stuff out of the way β can we just take a moment to just MARVEL AT THIS CAST, THOUGH?! Like, holy heck?!
Florence Pugh! Eliza Scanlen!
Emma Watson! Meryl Streep!
LAURA. FREAKIN'. DERN.

Like, I have an idea to save us all some time and money: Let's just give this movie all the awards right now.
And naturally I wasn't the only fan losing my mind:
CASTING π SAOIRSE π RONAN π AS π JO π MARCH π IN π LITTLE π WOMEN π IS π ONE π OF π THE π BEST π CASTING π DECISIONS π EVER π SO GO AND GIVE HER AN OSCAR NOW PLEASE
Though β truth be told β we're not emotionally prepared for this film:
