I'm speechless. This was beyond perfect. The editing, the narrative, the music (so inspired), the final clip ... wow. So powerful. I had goosebumps watching this. Outstanding work. Thank you for sharing.

Oh, how lovely, lovely, lovely. Family and extended family through the years, all the ways you've matched their troubles and joys with the shifts of tone in the music. Beautiful choice to end with the book rather than the romance.

Beautiful!! You used the instrumental music so flawlessly here.

So much nostalgia! I love this movie, and you captured the warmth and bittersweetness and joy of the film beautifully.

Oh Vidder. Oh vidder.

I don't think I have the words to say how much I love this. This movie and book have been such a constant for me since childhood, and you crafted such the perfect overview that it's like reading it or watching it all over again, perfectly encompassed and edited together. I loved how you acknowledged every single change in the music and what a great song choice it was. I loved the decision to intercut between some scenes like Amy almost drowning and Meg at the ball, and later on Amy/Laurie vs Jo/the professor. I was in tears by the time the vid ended, and not just because of Beth.

So beautiful! Thank you so much.
