I absolutely loved watching this and taking it all in without feeling compelled to compare it to other versions because this is the first one I have seen. The relationships between the March family and the people who come into their lives are convincing and real. If I were to have any qualms about this movie it would probably be that it didn't feel clear to me which character Samantha Mathis was playing until later when I had realised she was indeed an older Amy. The casting choice was perhaps the problem, four years later in the storyline Amy would have been a lady of society so about sixteen but she looks the same age as Jo. I later found out that Samantha Mathis is actually much older than is implied of her character, in fact much older than Winona and Claire and that makes it confusing and makes it hard to believe she is supposed to be Amy.
