Let’s face it: remakes are often unnecessary at best and inferior at worst. That said, I don’t imagine most people consider Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women when contemplating the redundancy of reboots, despite it being adapted for film more times than, say, A Star Is Born (which has been rebooted so many times it should be retitled A Planetary Nebula). Unless you count Mariah Carey’s Glitter, which is ostensibly the Black and Gold knock-off of A Star Is Born – it’s been remade four times. By comparison there are five Little Women adaptations. The latest and in my humble opinion, the best of which was made by Greta Gerwig.
