All 4 Greta Gerwig Movies Ranked

Gerwig's reinterpretation of Louisa May Alcott's classic novel is a masterpiece. The film follows the four March sisters, played by Saoirse Ronan, Emma Watson, Florence Pugh and Eliza Scanlen, as they grow up during the American Civil War. It's both a faithful adaptation and a fresh, modern take, cleverly playing with timelines and adding self-awareness.

A unique and hilarious satire of gender roles, Barbie explores the controversial legacy of the iconic Mattel doll. Starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, it follows Barbie as she goes through an existential crisis and travels to the real world. It became the charming box office hit of the year.

Lady Bird, Gerwig's solo directorial debut, is a moving and funny coming-of-age story set in early-2000s Sacramento, following the complicated relationship between an ambitious teen (Saoirse Ronan) and her mother (Laurie Metcalf). It was nominated for five Oscars, including Best Picture.

Gerwig's directorial debut, co-directed with Joe Swanberg, explores a long-distance relationship between a couple split between Chicago and New York. Not her most polished work, but it shows her ability to create realistic, natural cinema.
