While there definitely is a connection between her and Friederich, the film leaves it open as to whether it's just a close friendship or a romantic attraction. [[spoiler: Although TheyDo, it's only shown after her publisher insists, leaving it vague whether it truly happened]].

The film generally follows the same story as the book it's based on, and focuses on the coming-of-age of the four March sisters (Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy), as well as their childhood friend Laurie, during and after UsefulNotes/TheAmericanCivilWar. It differentiates itself from other adaptations with an [[AnachronicOrder anachronic structure]] and an emphasis on the overall March family rather than Jo specifically.
