An intense, emotional film about grief, guilt, and the complex relationships between sisters, with past resentment and unspoken feelings slowly coming to the surface. The performances are all amazing, Liv Ullmann, Ingrid Thulin, Harriet Andersson, and Kari Sylwan all deliver some of their best work. The cinematography, especially the use of red, just makes the film so much more powerful. It’s definitely a hard watch at times, but that’s literally what makes it so good.
This might be my new favorite Bergman film, which says a lot considering how brilliant his filmography is. And the ending is absolutely beautiful. You HAVE to watch it for yourself!
