Niederpruem gives it her very earnest all, but falls short both on continuity issues... and on making her gradually aging cast match up. September 28, 2018 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

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. September 28, 2018 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

Louisa May Alcott's timeless novel is revived for yet another generation, but the changes leave little to love. September 28, 2018 | Full Review…

The girls in this contemporary retelling are not messy and complex human beings but Hallmark Channel characters, two-dimensional symbols of virtuous nostalgia. September 27, 2018 | Full Review…

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. September 27, 2018 | Rating: C- | Full Review…

Kudos to Niederpruem for attempting a contemporary vision for the March sisters, but the present-day context erases and ignores too much of what was remarkable in Alcott's classic story. November 19, 2019 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Anyone appreciative of the novel or any one of its well-made adaptations will recognize the shallow hunk of junk this really is. February 9, 2019 | Full Review…

It fell short, and it's nothing you need to see on a big screen. Or on a small one either. January 29, 2019 | Full Review…

Not all of the plot adjustments work, but the production is cheerful and heartfelt, and for some reason it's always Christmas, so it wins points for sheer merriness. October 16, 2018 | Rating: B- | Full Review…
