Little Women
Sorry CR I just didn't find this movie to be that interesting. I remember when it came out; I was 23 and thought it was the last movie I'd ever be interested in seeing. Of course my taste has changed, and I was hoping for a bit of a How Green is My Valley sort of vibe. I think I got that in a way at least, and it really piqued my interest when I saw it was set in Concord, one of my favorite cities in Massachusetts. I really wish this movie was filmed in black and white, and that makes me wonder if I'd enjoy one of the older versions more. Not that it didn't look good, because it did, but I just didn't get the greatest feel with the color. The costumes and details were all very nice, and it's an easy watch and pleasant movie overall. I just wanted more drama, like with the illness. I never cared much about the romantic relationships. I also found it distracting that they used a different actress for the youngest sister while everyone else looked the same. I understand why they did it though. I'm not a fan of Winona Ryder but I thought she shined here. All of the other performances I thought were just ok. I didn't dislike it least and it's well made. Just not quite for me as it turned out.
