IMO that is clearly the best adaptation of Alcott's novel.
It’s about these four girls, growing up, and their relationship is the heart of everything. One thing I love is that it really highlights the importance of their bond without sugarcoating it. Amy and Jo pick at each other almost constantly, and Amy does a terrible, terrible thing when she burns Jo’s manuscript. It takes Jo a while (and a near-death experience) to forgive her, which feels very realistic to me. Speaking of realism, the many ways in which Jo and Meg don’t understand each other because of their very different personalities and their very different ways of looking at the world—that feels so real. They have different priorities, just like my sister and I do, and who knows? Maybe seeing Jo and Meg’s relationship helped me begin to understand that while my sister is completely different than I am, that she’s not wrong
