Ingrid is great as a totally self involved woman of great musical talent but no outward vision beyond how it serves her no matter how she tries. The rest of the film is dour and terribly depressing which of course is par for the course with Ingmar Bergman. We are suppose to empat... read more
This is one of the very best Ingmar Bergman films I have seen, and therefore one of the very best films.
Ingrid Bergman and Liv Ullman are simply amazing together as a mother and daughter combination from hell. Ingrid Bergman is terrific, despite a deliberately naff hairdo which... read more
I might be alone on this, but I prefer Autumn Sonata to Persona, Seventh Seal and maybe even Wild Strawberries. Wild Strawberries remains my favourite of Bergman's best but I believe Autumn Sonata is the better produced film, purely due to it's awesome script and the impeccable ... read more
Affecting less due to the story, and more due to observing still-radiant Ingrid Bergman in the twilight of her life. Otherwise, there's not much happening in the filmmaking beyond "warm lighting," and the script seems like just a case of Ingmar struggling to find new ways to make... read more
Its a devastatingly sad film, and while I wouldn't count it among Ingmar Bergman's absolute best (mostly because the first half of the film dives into the conflict too quickly and easily) but once the mother/daughter confrontation occurs its pretty powerful. It demonstrates some ... read more
Ingrid Bergman as directed by Ingmar Bergman. Did you think this was going suck?
Sep 2010 - This is another of incredible human dramas in the later work of Bergman. This time everything is focused so the relationship between a mother and a daughter. The movie is so much in control and so realistic that despite the limitation of an ordinary life conflict, one ... read more
Ingmar Bergman's Autumn Sonata (Höstsonaten) tells the story of a mother (Ingrid Bergman) who comes to visit her daughter. The mother is a world-famous pianist and was never around for her daughter's life. The film takes place in one night and the two reminisce about life. The pl... read more
Pretty bad. Possibily good for ppl with mother daughter issues.. but the mother is a real selfish bitch.
This is not a comfortable movie, but it isn't meant to be. It's a difficult work, but that very difficulty is what makes it rewarding. Full Review
Ingmar says, "No." Ingrid says, "Yes." They're both right and both wrong, but it is Ingrid, in her last feature film performance, whose "Yes" carries more conviction and authority. Full Review
This very good Ingrid and Ingmar Bergman film is very easy to love for its honesty and passion ... Full Review
There is too much talk, talk, talk about feelings and not enough demonstration of them, but like cream, Ingrid keeps rising to the top of the chatter. Full Review
Of course Bergman's actresses suffer superbly in microscopic close-up, but the nagging doubt persists as to whether this is incisive psychodrama or just those old nordic blues again. Full Review
Ingrid Bergman won her last Oscar nomination for her very last feature in this intense mother-daughter melodrama, directed by Ingmar Bergman. Full Review
Though Ingrid and Ingmar Bergman aren't related, their pairing on a movie set was a long-anticipated event Full Review
Probes in an intelligent and affecting way the ambivalent feelings in mother-daughter relationships Full Review
With its raw performances and lyrical dialogue this is a sombre, resonant, lingering drama about family dysfunction and emotional frustration. Full Review
