Little Women (1994)

A film review by Christopher Null - Copyright © 1999 Filmcritic.com

Hollywood did put out one decent flick over the 1994 holidays, and that was Little Women, another remake of Louisa May Alcott’s famed novel. Winona Ryder steals the show, and most of the supporting cast are perfect. The story of Little Women is given a new breath of life with this film, and it is still as relevant about our place in the world and overcoming its man-made obstacles as it was when it was written. I mean, I'm like, you know, a guy... and I really dug the movie. Alvarado and Mathis shine above an altogether good cast (while Danes disappoints).
