Little Women-(Dec.2017)
Written by Heidi Thomas
Produced by Susie Liggat
A U.K/U.S production, location shot- Eastern Ireland.
Adaptation of Louisa May Alcott’s 1869 two-volume classic novel.
The story has already inspired several adaptations for both
TV and cinema screens.
One of the previously known adaptations,1994 film starring Winona Ryder
and Susan Sarandon.
Set in Massachusetts the three-part period drama, follows the lives of four March sisters
on their journey from childhood to womanhood while their father (Dylan Baker) is away at war.
And in his absence, the girls are being raised by their mother Marmee(Emily Watson)
The March sisters classic story of "sisterly love." portrayed by-
(Willa Fitzgerald) as Meg,
(Maya Hawke, daughter of Uma Thurman)as energetic writer Jo,
(Annes Elwy)as loving and musical, Beth and
(Kathryn Newton)as youngest and spoilt Amy.
The best performance came from tragic Beth as she wastes away from scarlet fever.
A last moving moment as she lay by her deathbed and her mum whispered.......
This is a wonderful family series.
Though some plot points raced through too fast whilst others lingered over.
Still enjoyed this adaption though never read the book.
Where it does succeed consistently though is in the performances
of its incredible young cast.
The directors went outside familiar talent.
A mixed affair but on the whole a good one.
