Little Women (2018)

"Louisa May Alcott's timeless novel is revived for yet another generation, but the changes leave little to love."

"For devotees, the essence of the Little Women story remains, and, for newcomers, it is a sweet film that should inspire them to explore the book and the more traditional adaptations."

"Most damning is that Niederpruem fails to engage with her central, powerful idea. Despite setting Little Women in modern times, the film is disinterested in using the new period to explore the bigger questions at the heart of Alcott's novel."

"This cinematic update ultimately not so much honours its source material but exploits it. Not in a bad way, mind you, merely an unnecessary one."
