A glowing depiction of the true nature of family, the search for self and feminine independence based on the classic novel by Louisa May Alcott. Gillian Armstrong’s compelling film captures the romantic dramas and adventures of Mrs March (Susan Sarandon) and her four “little women”: spirited Jo (Winona Ryder), beautiful Meg (Trini Alvarado), fragile Beth (Claire Danes) and romantic Amy (Kirsten Dunst).
