Greta Gerwig's Little Women-DVD*

I really enjoyed this version of Little Women.  Jo March reflects back and forth on her life.  The actoresses who portray the March females display the different personalities well.  The scenery is beauitful.  The interactions of the family are authentic and make you want to be part of their community.  The beauty and sometimes the sadness made me cry while watching it.

My husband and I enjoyed seeing the process it took to make a book during that time period.  How they incorporated it was actually beautiful.   

The only aspect my family and I did not care for was the "back and forth" format.  If one is not familiar with the book and the storyline, it could be mega-confusing.  The productors do provide distinct differences in the plot, scenery, clothing, hairstyles etc. that a viewer can determine when the time has changed.  If you are looking for a linear storyline, you will be disappointed while viewing this version.  

This movie is definitely female-centric.  Mr. March is absent during most of the movie (serving in the Civil War).  When he appears at the end of the movie, his role is minimal. 

Rated: PG (thematic elements and brief smoking)  **Also, Laurie is drunk in a scene.  

*Highly recommend.
