I saw the movie before the reading book, so there were times where the plot was confusing, but as after I read the book, I appreciated the movie even more. Ronan as Jo was a beautiful choice and all the other actresses did beautiful work on it too. Having Meryl Streep as Aunt March was one of the best things I saw in the film; even though Beth's character arc was a little rushed, in my opinion, I loved her relationship with Mr. Laurence in both the book and movie - she was his granddaughter reincarnated.
