Critic Reviews
-
Geoff Andrew, Time Out
The film is an uncompromisingly harrowing and honest account of male-female relationships.
-
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
One of the truest, most luminous love stories ever made.
-
Vincent Canby, New York Times
It's a movie of such extraordinary intimacy that it has the effect of breaking into mysterious components many things we ordinarily accept without thought, familiar and banal objects, faces, attitudes, and emotions, especially love.
-
Don Druker, Chicago Reader
Bergman's screenplay leaves nothing to the imagination and turns the film into a windy soap opera most of the time; what might have been a masterpiece in the TV original (although I doubt it) becomes in its truncated form mostly elegant mush.
-
Dennis Schwartz, Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Left so little to the imagination.
