- The March house was designed to look plain from the outside, but be bright and colorful inside. Because of this, it earned the nickname "the jewel box" on set.
- This is the 13th movie produced by Amy Pascal following her departure from Sony Pictures. While Chairperson of Sony Pictures, when asked why she paid her actresses less than actors, Pascal replied, "People want to work for less money, I'll pay them less money. I don't call them up and go, 'Can I give you some more?' "
- This movie received three of the same Academy Award nominations as Little Women (1994): Best Actress, Best Costume Design, and Best Original Score; at the same time, it also received the same Academy Award nominations as Little Women (1933): Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Picture. In addition, Thomas Newman, the composer for the 1994 version, competed for an Academy Award for Best Original Score for 1917 (2019) against Alexandre Desplat, who scored this version of "Little Women", but both lost the award to Hildur Guðnadóttir for Joker (2019).
- Laura Dern not only appeared in this movie, written and directed by Greta Gerwig, but also appeared in Marriage Story (2019), written and directed by Noah Baumbach, Gerwig's life partner and the father of their newborn son. In addition, both of these movies were nominated for an Academy Award for Best Picture, and the latter movie earned Dern her first Oscar for Best Actress in a Supporting Role.
- Laura Dern's father, Bruce Dern, appeared in the film Mulholland Falls as LAPD Chief W.H. Parker. Parker was also the inspiration for the character of Spock on Star Trek. Winona Ryder, who played the lead role in 1994's Little Women, also played Spock's mother Amanda Grayson in the 2009 film Star Trek.
