“I have to tell you, the readers, that this theatrical version everybody is raving about was not the one Gerwig wanted in theaters. Hear me out: I have been told, by a few very reliable sources, that there was major studio interference into Gerwig’s original vision of the film and she never got the final cut she wanted. This will likely never slip out into the mainstream due to Sony and Gerwig trying to nab those precious Oscar-nominations, but it does need to be mentioned. The reason “Little Women” is a disjointed mess may lie in post-production tensions between studio and filmmaker which occurred, mostly, in the editing room.”
