Little Women, for me as a reader, was a rite of passage. I was introduced to the March sisters at a young age. A precursor of my addiction to classic literature by female authors in the 18th and 19th centuries, Little Women holds a place in my heart.
There have been several film adaptations of the novel. The most recent big screen adaptation was released 20 years ago. Inhabiting the lives of the March sisters are Trini Alvarado (Meg, the sensible eldest sister), Winona Ryder (Jo, the tomboy who wishes to be a writer), Claire Danes (Beth, the homebody) and Kirsten Dunst / Samantha Mathis (wild child Amy). Rounding out the cast is Susan Sarandon as Mrs. March, Christian Bale as Laurie, Gabriel Byrne as Friedrich Bhaer and Eric Stoltz as John Brooke.
I like this movie. It’s true to the book while not sacrificing cinematic quality. This movie is good and still holds up after 20 years.
I recommend this movie.
