Ingmar Bergman is arguably one of the greatest directors when it comes to dissecting personal relationships coming apart; most especially within the family. The mother and daughter trauma portrayed here is both convincing and harrowing in its detail. He was also a superb director of actors and never better than here where the performances from Ingrid Bergman and Liv Ullman are quite superb. I could quibble with the over-use of the close-up, but for students of the art of acting this is a must see.
