Excellent movie. Perhaps the best adaptation of the book. This movie was well casted and I appreciated the scenery, costumes and sets. ( Very authentic) Because of the number of flashbacks, if you are not familiar with the story, read the book before seeing the movie. I listened to it on Audible and this made following the story easier and the movie most enjoyable. Oscar worthy on so many levels

Very good movie that made flashbacks an integral part of the tale. It worked for me. I thought the female casting and was great but the Laurie actor looked to be a skinny 14 yr old throughout ... he was miscast. Loved Meryl Streep as Aunt Marsh. Overall, well done!

Well done!! SAOIRSE RONAN best actress nomination. We have come a long way. Excellent drama filled with emotions, you may need tissues.
This was even better my second time.

Brilliantly acted !!! My favourite of all the movie versions of this book ... for those who haven’t read the book or aren’t aware of the plot line, they may have difficulty initially following the movie due to the flipping from present time to seven years earlier and back again -
once you realize that’s the movie format, it’s easy to get lost in the story and fabulous performances

Garbage. I almost threw up when sister was dead but they did the trick that she was still alive for some reason. Don't belive the hype. movie is really bad.

This classic was beautifully retold. Each of the actors captured the essence of each character as written by Alcott. Meryl Streep is never a disappointment! The scenery and photography were gorgeous. I'd see this movie again but there are so many good movies showing at this time that I'd like to see on the wide screen, that I'll wait to stream on Netflix.
To those who would like to see less "gender bias" or LGBTQ characters: The novel is titled "Little Women," is semi-autobiographical and takes place during and after the Civil War. The characters are based on real people and many events that were fictionalized. This
novel is a literary classic and should be appreciated as such.

I have always liked the book Little Women but I found nothing about this movie appealing . The flashbacks were distracting , the actor who was cast as Laurey looked like a twelve year old boy and much of the acting was flat. Why did the director feel the need to destroy a good story ?
