Little Women

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.

Saoirse Ronan is outstanding, but unmatched by the other elements of the production. Mediocre at best. Guru Bob says...…….67/100

Far too jumpy. Never sure what time period you were in.

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 ?

great story, great acting, great screenplay. Funny, touching, beautiful.

This movie was confusing and it was boring dumb and stupid don’t waste your money on this movie

Best movie of the year!

Finally, a well directed and acted historical movie based on the life of writer Louisa May Alcott, and her family. It was refreshing to see a movie with no cursing, no taking God's name in vain, no sex scenes, no political bias or innuendo - none of the usual PC garbage Hollywood typically shoves in our faces. We need more of these kind of movies that leave you with a good feeling.

REALLY ENJOYED THIS FILM OF CLOSE FAMILY TIES ENDURING STRUGGLES WITH LOVE, SELFLESSNESS, SACRIFICE AND NOT GIVING UP AS A WRITER. SAOIRSE RONAN WAS EXCELLENT AS JO. I WOULD SEE THIS MOVIE AGAIN.

A movie that releases on Christmas Day is usually a dog because they want to quell any reviews before people go into holiday mode. This movie is a classic fit to that norm. Preachy, miscast, modern ideology, tossed into a maelstrom. The movie is hoping to convince you you are seeing a remake of a classic, when in reality it is a complete rewrite, and you'll be classified as an "ist" of some sort if you do not go see it. It's Dickens meets female Ghostbusters or something.

If you think this is another version of the book, you would be sadly disappointed. More of modern current trends influenced adaptation riding on the coat tails of a once proud novel.

Good story, well told without preaching or too much woke nonsense that spoils much of current entertainment. Strong people dealing with life as it come to them.

wonderful wonderful movie.

This version used some parts of the book that the four other versions I have seen haven't used. Very good story. Moved me to tears.

When I was a kid I read Little Women over and over, and also read it to my daughter when she was young. This movie was all wrong on so many levels! The beautiful sweet story was ruined with out-of-sequence flashbacks, very poor acting, unbelievable casting of mismatched actors, average filming photography, and a script that had everyone talking at once and missed some important scenes. The movie should be named something else if the intent was to characterize a female writer of those days, but this moving still fell short in doing that.

Read the novelization, it's much better.

There's nothing here you haven't seen before. Was really hoping they'd update the story by including a lesbian romance at least.

great way of telling the story !

The reviewer objecting to the many parts in this movie going to women must be kidding. or an idiot!

Cultural,conditioning is reflected in a few of these ratings. This film is about little women and for men who don't aspire to being "little men."

Lol, I just needed to balance out the obviously humorous one star that objected to the all female leads. Haha.

wonderful story wonderful cast

I truly enjoy seeing the struggles they went thru & how they worked at trying to over come them !! It's a classic, even in this day & age.

Such gender bias in casting all female leads to tell this time-worn story yet again. Should we not be better than this in 2019???
