The British actress, 29, stars as one of the March sisters in Greta Gerwig’s adaptation of the Louisa May Alcott novel.

One person commented: “The LITTLE WOMEN trailer is good and Emma Watson’s American accent is exceedingly fine and everyone needs to go lie down for a quick minute.”
Another person added: “Say what you want about her accent in the Little Women trailer but Emma Watson was phenomenal in The Bling Ring.”
