LITTLE WOMEN fans will want every version of this classic story. Each film has its high points, but most have at least one glaring error that purists can't ignore. From Elizabeth Taylor's unconvincing blonde hair, to Winona Ryder as Jo looking shorter and more slender than all her sisters including Beth, most movie versions don't get it right. That's why this British version is such a pleasant surprise. Maya Hawke as Jo is, unquestionably, perfect. Tall, gawky, and not conventionally pretty, this Jo is exactly as Alcott describes her. Best of all, the relationship between Laurie and Jo is better developed than in most other versions. The audience sees mutual attraction as well as close friendship. The other characters are also well cast, particularly Amy and Aunt March. And don't forget the costumes! Plot sticks close to the book. Highly recommended for all ages.Read full review

Not well done at all, too much overacting. Most of the charecters were not ready for prime time. This felt like somebody's relative needed to be in a movie and here it is. Actresses just didn't seem invested or interesting. Save your money. For a much better (professional acting) version you want the 1949 version starring June Allison. You will not be disappointed. Actually, there's another version starring Winona Ryder, which is much better than this one, but the best is the 1949 version, very engaging.

This pbs production is poorly made.. IMO. I love pbs shows cause they are usually great story lines and the acting is usually top of the line. This reproduction of a great story is poor, though. Not impressed
