In the splendid new film by Academy Award nominee Greta Gerwig, Saoirse Ronan, Emma Watson, Florence Pugh and Eliza Scanlen star as the so-called Little Women, who all achieve great things by following their own individual paths. Timothée Chalamet, Laura Dern and Meryl Streep also star in a romantic drama that is warmly humorous and lovably touching.
Now that Little Women is playing in theaters, what future female-driven films lie in wait to be discovered by audiences nationwide? Here are three that all look quite intriguing.
