Amazon.co.uk Review
The flaws are easily forgiven in this beautiful version of Louisa May Alcott's novel. A stirring look at life in New England during the Civil War, Little Women is a triumph for all involved. We follow one family as they split into the world, ending up with the most independent, the outspoken Jo (Winona Ryder). This time around, the dramatics and conclusions fall into place a little too well, instead of finding life's little accidents along the way. Everyone now looks a bit too cute and oh, so nice. As the matron, Marmee, Susan Sarandon kicks the film into a modern tone, creating a movie alive with a great feminine sprit. Kirsten Dunst (Interview with the Vampire) has another showy role. The young ensemble cast cannot be faulted, with Ryder beginning the movie in a role akin to light comedy and crescendos to a triumphant end worthy of an Oscar. --Doug Thomas

5.0 out of 5 stars This remake is Absolute perfection !, 16 May 2007
By Jay "The Amazon Reviewer" (Mauritius) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Little Women [DVD] [1995] (DVD)
absolutely adored this remake of the classic story Little Women. I thought the whole movie was superb and perfectly cast and am really glad this remake was done. It was a great night at the movies.

Watching this movie made me enraptured with this time period and made me also want to know these people. The story wasn't changed and the movie's warmth and gentleness were still as luminous as ever. No flashiness at all just magnificent storytelling and it was really superb to see.

With so many movies oriented toward violence, anger, brutality etc Little Women is a breath of fresh air. I love all types of movies but where would we be without an occasional heartwarming, uplifting(at times) classic like this?

Everyone was flawless in this but I must single out Danes, Sarrandon and one of my favorites Ms Winona! (Who else but Winona could have played Jo?).

If you haven't seen this yet you certainly should. Little women is another classic that never gets old. This remake is Absolute perfection !

4.0 out of 5 stars A fascinating portrayal of Alcott's well loved novel, 21 Sep 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Little Women [VHS] [1995] (VHS Tape)
It was intriguing to see this much-acclaimed version of the well-loved classic. Despite being a rather glossy adaptation of a rather detailed book, the film does an excellent job of really exploring the characters. Winona Ryder plays an endearing and rather believable Jo alongside a great cast including a painfully likeable Marmee (Susan Sarandon.) Filled with heart warming family scenes and picturesque childhood memories, this is an admirable account of those difficult decisions and choices women have to make throughout their lives. Not a film to watch if you want action and excitement but never the less a brilliant film that for once does the novel justice.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of my absolute favourite films, 28 Mar 2006
This review is from: Little Women [DVD] [1995] (DVD)
This movie is a truly heartwarming, emotional and touching story about the lives and loves of 4 sisters, who have been left poor while their father has gone off to fight in the American Civil War. There is no limit to the number of the times I can watch this film, and I can be sure that every time I do I'll be moved to tears! One of the things I like most about this film is the score - the music is what will make you cry, and really gives it a great sense of atmosphere. The acting is brilliant, my heart breaks every time I watch Laurie's proposal scene! If you like romance, period drama, or just a really good story, this is for you, buy it today!
PS. Gabriel Byrne is hot in this. (!!!)
