4/4 Stars! “The writer-director’s funny, moving adaptation respects the popular novel but gives these 1860s women attitudes that seem current…fresh and unique and yet beautifully respectful take on one of the most filmed novels in motion picture history” (Chicago Sun-Times)
4/4 Stars! “a resolutely faithful rendition of the book that’s nonetheless deeply creative…This “Little Women” purist was moved to tears by this movie, and didn’t want it to end. Beautifully intimate, gentle and wise” (Seattle Times)
Grade A! “the A-list cast to bring their characters to life in refreshing and new ways…is made with so much love and enthusiasm — both behind and in front of the camera” (Consequence of Sound)
