This is not a faithful telling of Little Women, rather they try to add to the original story. They flesh out a few things that were not clear in the original but, it turns out, adding to this story does not make it better. For me, the acting wasn't particularly stellar either. Maya Hawke, nepo baby, leads this story, poorly. Not interesting enough to play Jo. Kathryn Newton as Amy doesn't really capture the role and seems bratty most of the time. It is hard to buy Laurie's interest in her as anything other than a rebound. I did enjoy the additions with regard to Mr. Brook and additional information around Laurie and Mr. Lawrence, but in the end I could take this or leave it.
