Hao Ian L @HaOiAn Apr 25 Set within the claustrophobic walls of a rural parsonage, Autumn Sonata presents a dialogue-heavy autopsy into the ugliest corners of family dynamics stripped of all sentimentality, portraying maternal neglect and trauma in a way that's brutally unfiltered and honest.

While accuracy does not always equate to entertainment it dees so here. See more Jithin K @Jithin Feb 25 Ingrid Bergman in her final film role with Liv Ulmann in an Ingmar Bergman film, the expectations were always going to be huge for this. But maybe because of that and feeling like a few things could've been explored further, this felt like one of the weakest from Bergman, but even the weakest is as good as the best from most directors. How it slowly built up the tension between the mother-daughter relationship felt weirdly fresh but hard to watch even after so many years of its release. The second half of the movie showcasing the performances in a way that is very Bergman is where the film really shines. Those closeups with such great dialogues makes it so engrossing. But overall, it felt like there was a lot more it could've done with this material. See more Merick H @RT59327164 Nov 9 Loved it! What powerful performances and compelling dialogue! One of my favorites from Bergman... See more Alain E @AlainE Jul 5 Well interpreted, it is a story of a dysfunctional family, mostly because the mother was listening mostly to her own needs. Twenty five years later a confrontation with her daughter is not going to resolve anything. Actually the daughter will reach full adulthood only when she accepts that what happened in the past is irrevocable and she now has to make her own decisions and not try to appease or spite her mother.
