Amazing Period Dramas You Should Check Out After “Little Women”

Greta Gerwig gave us one of the most amazing period dramas in recent memory with her adaptation of Little Women. If you’ve fallen in love with this genre all over again, here’s a couple of amazing period dramas that star your favorite actors from the latest take on Louisa May Alcott’s timeless coming-of-age tale.

Atonement

Saoirse Ronan starred in several pretty amazing period dramas over the years, but this was the one that put her on the map. It’s a heartbreaking story of a naïve young girl who changed the course of several lives by accusing an innocent man of a crime he didn’t commit.

Lady Macbeth

The whole world learned Florence Pugh’s name this year, but her breakout performance actually came in 2016, when she took the lead role in Lady Macbeth. This epic tale of passion and vengeance should be on your watch list if the young actress impressed you with her performance in Gerwig’s latest film.

Ballet Shoes

Little Women isn’t Emma Watson’s first movie that centered on a group of sisters with different dreams and aspirations. The 2007 TV movie, Ballet Shoes, told a similar tale and its amazing cast also included Bohemian Rhapsody star Lucy Boynton.
