IMDb plot summary: A married daughter who longs for her mother's love is visited by the latter, a successful concert pianist.
Directed by Ingmar Bergman. Starring Ingrid Bergman, Liv Ullmann, Lena Nyman, and Halvar Björk.
There's a lot about this movie that I like a lot. It's slow and thoughtful about its characters in a way that Bergman often is -- it's very theatrical. Individual lines and insights are gorgeous. These are such great characters. It just has a strange emotional arc, hitting its peak in the middle of the film and coming down somewhat anticlimactically after that. But overall, scene by scene, it's really beautifully done.
4 stars.
