Summary: A modernized adaptation of the classic novel, yet a gem nonetheless!
Comment: If you're a purist, you'll probably scoff at this 1994 movie adaptation of the classic novel by Louisa May Alcott. It is not a faithful adaptation, and a rather modernized version. But having said that, I love this adaptation all the same because of the wonderful acting by the ensemble cast.
The movie tells the story of a New England family during the Civil War - there's Marmie [Susan Sarandon, my favorite Marmie of all the adaptations],Meg, Jo [Winona Ryder who actually really shines in this role], Beth [Claire Danes], and Amy. Dad is a Union Army Chaplain and away on the battleground and so the band of women fend for themselves. Their lack of material comforts is never seen as much of a problem [they portray a once-prosperous family fallen on hard times] and then there's next door neighbor Laurie [an utterly charming Christian Bale]who becomes infatuated with the strong-willed Jo.
The acting is this movie adaptation is perhaps one of the finest if taken as an ensemble performance - all the actors shine in their roles, especially Sarandon as Marmie, Ryder as Jo, Danes as the ethereal and fragile Beth, Bale as Laurie, and of course, Gabriel Byrne as Prof. Bhaer. The sets, costumes and cinematography are absolutely beautiful and so is the beguiling score.
I make it a point to watch the movie adaptations of Little Women once a year - these movies just make me feel good and happy, especially during the holidays. Highly recommended to fans of Little Women and period dramas.

Comment:
I mistakenly rated this a 5 star before realizing this is the version I returned,did not want, and ordered the one with the cast of the original I saw, starring Margaret O'Brien, June Allyson, Liz Taylor, etc., which in my memory rated a 5. I am waiting for time to view it when I will not be interrupted by caregiving for an ill family member. Thank you.
