      Trevor Johnston Time Out The bounty of Bergman's many superb female performances notwithstanding, it's a shame he never worked with Nilsson again. Jan 26, 2006 Full Review Bosley Crowther New York Times The whole thing concludes with an ingenuous and typical Bergman paradox. May 9, 2005 Full Review Pat Graham Chicago Reader More wistful than brooding. Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Manny Farber The New Leader With no editing rhythm and only amateurish composition, Bergman keeps action to an all-time minimum. Sep 14, 2021 Full Review Tim Brayton Alternate Ending Tossed off without too much fuss or thought so that Bergman could remind himself how to make a movie that wasn't going to demand too much of him or anyone else. Rated: 3.5/5 Jul 11, 2020 Full Review TV Guide This mostly light-hearted comedy was written by Bergman during what he considered a dark time in his life -- which seems strange, considering how much fun the film is. Rated: 3.5/4 Aug 29, 2006 Full Review Read all reviews

      Audience Member 2nd tier Bergman for me, but it was good enough to hold my interest. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review s r Another powerful depiction of women's lives through the honest approach of the masterful Bergman. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member This mostly light-hearted comedy was written by Bergman during what he considered a dark time in his life -- which seems strange, considering how much fun the film is. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Gunnar Fischer's black and white photography for Bergman in the 50's is wondrous, and there's plenty of dream-like beauty in this lesser known gem. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member An early Bergman that offers some truly insipirational moments, which hint at what splendid films are yet to come. The elevator scene is absolutely marvellous. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Näin Ingmar Bergman-noviisina vertailukohdat puuttuvat tietenkin täysin, mutta ihan lupaava alku. Kävi opiskelijan vaihtoehtoiseen perjantain viettoon. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
