Movie Reviews

New York Times - 10/10 by Vincent CanbyIt stands alone and it reduces almost everything else you're likely to see this season to the size of a small cinder.
Q Network Film Desk - 10/10 by James KendrickBergman's mastery of the cinematic medium allows him to convey this inner battle with minimal physical activity.
Cine Vértigo - 10/10 by Ernesto Diezmartinez"One of the most perfect works - in the form - and disturbing - in the content - of the Swedish filmmaker".
Chicago Sun-Times - 10/10 by Roger EbertBergman never made another film this painful. To see it is to touch the extremes of human feeling. It is so personal, so penetrating of privacy, we almost want to look away.
Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN) - 10/10 by Bob BloomA timeless classic for every film student.
ColeSmithey.com - 10/10 by Cole SmitheyA stunning piece of pure cinema by a master filmmaker.
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 9/10 by Dennis SchwartzIt's a beautifully photographed but painful film to watch.
Cinemaphile.org - 8/10 by David KeyesSome have called it the most painful movie he ever made, and it is easy to see why: the three sisters at the center have lost the wisdom of compassion and replaced it with unending pathos.
Spirituality and Practice - 8/10 by Frederic and Mary Ann BrussatA Swedish film by Ingmar Bergman where two sisters have returned to the family mansion to be present at their sister's death.
Chicago Reader - 6/10 by Don DrukerThe much-vaunted color symbolism is so obvious as to be almost charming in its simplicity, and the gothic ambience never really resonates.
