Little Women movie

yes, good advice Sara, tissues essential

Because it’s one of my all time favourite books, I still have a copy which was my dads, I knew I’d be crying from the start, I was right, take tissues.

Little Women was my read and read again book from about age 9. I loved it, loved the BBC serial we'd watch on Sunday tea time. I went to the film with that feeling of some trepidation, would they ruin my memories.
A enjoyed it all. Great cast and beautiful filming. Sympathetic portrayal of the key themes.
It reminded me how much this book opened my eyes to feminism, Jo was my role model.
I agree, some of the time line was not always easy to follow but once I realised that, it worked well.

We went to see it at Christmas, me, my husband, two daughters, one son in law and five children.

I loved it, Amy wasn’t quite right for me, but that’s a minor thing.

It did jump about a lot, and was quite long, so I was surprised the six year old stayed glued to it throughout.

Like Monica, I’ll be buying the DVD

I saw it last week and enjoyed it but there is a lot of jumping around with the timeline. Jo and Amy are both great and the locations are brilliant.

Little Women was my go to book growing up. It was my escape.

I didn’t like the way it bounced the timeline back and forward but it was beautifully filmed. I enjoyed it but didn’t love it in the way I hoped.

My OH didn’t really know the story and thought it was muddled.

I’ve been to see it with my daughter and elderly mother. We all loved it and it didn’t disappoint.

I am usually very critical of tv/films of classic books, so I went to this one feeling very cautious - and loved it. It plays fast and loose in its representations of the period; the girl's hair (no one would pay a penny for Jo's hair if it was as presented in the film), costumes, landscape etc are all less than accurate, but it gets the essence of the book absolutely right the relationships between the characters are right - and I will undoubtedly go and see it again and even buy the dvd.
