Little Women

The 1800s looked uncomfortable. Christian Bale radiates this odd sexual energy in this film.

The completion of Jo's romantic arc doesn't sit quite right but that's about the only thing that feels off (well, that and Bale's goatee) in this cohesive and cozy (but still poignant and emotional: see the gift for Beth) family journey through life and love and the blasted patriarchy ("You should have been a lawyer, Miss March" "I should have been a great many things, Mr. Mayer"). Dunst's adorable Amy and Ryder's moody Jo ("I just know I'll never fit in anywhere") are two standout turns.

Firrt-rate version of Alcott's classic. Wonderful cast, high-quality family film, fine music score by Thomas Newman. Ryder is wonderful as Jo March.

Very emotional movie.

It was a nice little film. Very conventional, but pleasing nonetheless. It had a whole host of actors I like in it, including some nice surprises like Christian Bale, Gabriel Byrne and Eric Stoltz. It didn't wow me but it was nice enough and I can see why others like it.

Flat-out masterful adaptation; arriving during the peak of 90s Merchant-Ivory, it has the same classy and cozy sheen of the best of them; artfully and sardonically comments on the mores and standards of the time with a defiant feminist bent (thanks to Sarandon’s wonderful Marmee), while remaining true and genuine to its time and place. Ryder and Dunst stand-out with the meatier (and more interesting) roles, but even Danes and Alvarado bring life to their somewhat paler and reactive characters.

tüm ağlaklığına, klişelerine, sıradanlığına ve yer yer abartı dramatikliğine rağmen çok samimi bir sıcaklığı var filmin. bir *ensemble* filmi olarak işliyor olması belki bunun en önemli sebeplerinden biri.

It is very much not my type of movie, but it does it's thing so well that I have to admire it and did enjoy it. The characters are well developed and the actors are strong enough to get them through the writer placed obstacles while maintaining a sense of agency and humanity. It's a sweet enjoyable story with just enough turmoil to keep it from being pure fantasy.

A must girly movie. Claire Danes in his rising role!

While this didn't have the pacing and spectacle of the 2019 version it does stick closer to the books. The acting over all is great and I liked most of the actor choices.

nice story of the little and not so little moments in the lives of the March women...

This was better than I thought it'd be. Winona Ryder should have stayed form historical drama. She never had the chops.

I am not this film's demographic.

Adore, adore, adore this movie! It really has a warm feeling about it and great dynamics! I had to take off a few points simply because a few liberties were taken in the adaptation, and a few character changes seem to occur a tad quickly. But, it's still a delightful film and a true favorite!

One of those pictures that isn't *bad*, exactly, but which evaporates from your mind almost instantly

Ok. So i watched this with indifference. The only time when it stirred me into emotion was when Laurie married Amy. Am I the only one who thinks these 2 are scumbags?

Astonishing warmth radiates from the relationship of the girls who are superbly portrayed by this cast of future stars. Although Little Women is a fairly conventional Christmas tale, it's one which is both satisfyingly inspiriting and melancholic in equal measures.

Does it make me gay if I actually really like this film? It was one of my mom's favorites, so it was watched in our house off-and-on throughout my teenage years.

Charming, if a bit rushed.

Frequentemente, através deste filme, Gillian Armstrong escolhe evidenciar o formato das flores, a cor das folhas, a textura dos espaços e os seus detalhes. As três versões de Little Women trazem olhares muito singulares para essa história. Esta aqui parece estar especialmente preocupada com a sensação de vestir roupas pesadas em interiores úmidos e com como nos engajamos em modos de vida a partir de nossa relação com o que está ao nosso redor: pequenos objetos, espaços e pessoas amad

ick

Not bad.

iconic, winona ryder is a gem.

I haven't read the novel, but it would seem that Gerwig has taken a lot of her inspiration from this film, as many of the scenes are very similar. Though I think Gerwig's adaptation is the better film, I actually think that I prefer this cast.

I'm really not into chick flicks, but this movie wasn't too bad. I prefer the book, though.

Good film.

Satisfying re-telling of the classic novel.

Looks better than the other versions I've seen and the story's layout is way better, but the characters were less remarkable than before.

This adaptation had a genuinely good cast...except for Winona Ryder. What a whiny bitch.

Gillian Armstrong's adaptation of Louisa May Alcott's novel has largely been overshadowed by Great Gerwig's more recent adaptation, which is really a shame because Armstrong does so much right here. It's a gorgeous looking film down to the smallest details of costume and production design. It's a real ensemble film, giving equal weight to all the characters. All of the performances are really strong.

Certainly the 'good' 90s in Hollywood filmmaking. Faithful and a loving adaptation of the book, with immaculate details, acting, and direction.

gradevole e garbato

good movie

Can be fun, in certain moods.

It's an alright movie, but a great adaptation. This version strongly emphasizes the feminist themes of the book(s).

Christian BALE!!!!!

Pretty sure I've seen this twice and I vaguely remember it. I didn't dislike it, but I wasn't exactly thrilled.
