Beautiful, haunting imagery. Very intentionally slowly paced and you’ll either be extremely immersed or bored to tears
ingmar always wonderful, heavy film, with fantastic dialogues
One of the best movies made by ingmar bergman
Hallowing, early home invasion horror, period piece. Great confrontation of a character who is determined to protect his family, yet fails.
One of Bergman's most exquisite and beautifully sumptuous movies. A divine experience goes a long way in showing how poetic movies can be
7 out of 10. It all comes together in such a literal way. Wish Ingeri had more screen time. Most interesting character by far.
Reminds me of films like 'You were never really here' in a way. Grim but a great watch.
Very dark, drenched with symbolism and metaphors. Another enthralling film from Bergman that grabs your attention and keeps it until the end
A shocking precursor to a famous horror movie from the 70s. I had no idea what to expect when I started watching.
A disturbing yet scenic movie with a ton of great reactions.
