I didn't think Emma Watson was weak as Meg, but that the part was underwritten - as was Beth. Probably inevitable in a relatively short film with the focus on Jo, and I welcomed the way that Amy was presented, but I do think that Meg is the character who loses out most in adaptations and this one was no exception.

Great to see more of Aunt March and Marmee, though, and entirely agree that the way it is set up as our knowing we aren't seeing all of them is very effective.
