There’s countless Little Women movie adaptations and I’ve only ever seen two different ones. The 1994 version starring Winona Ryder and Kristen Dunst, and the 2019 version starring Saoirse Ronan and Timothee Chalamet.
I watched the 1994 version first on Netflix about a year or two ago and I thought it was absolutely phenomenal. I watched it about three times that week. Then I found out that the 2019 version had Florence Pugh in it and so I bought it on Amazon over the winter break and watched it. I consider Little Women a Christmas movie but that doesn’t mean I won’t watch it during any other time.
When I watched the 2019 version, I cried. I actually had tears coming out of my eyes despite the fact that I had already seen this movie four other times. Maybe it’s cause it’s newer but I like the 2019 version so much I think it surpassed the 1994 one. I can recite the Laurie rejection scene by heart and I tend to rewatch that movie once every two weeks. And thanks to the internet I get constantly surprised by someone else pointing out a different tiny detail that I missed. If I tried to actually point out all the little details I think it would take up too much of my time that I’m not willing to give up yet. I do plan on it though.
