Aroview: “It’s Monday morning and I’m in pain…” So begins one of Bergman’s most nerve-wrecking psychodramas, set in a 19th household of three comforting-yet- competing sisters all nursing their own ‘special problems’. A sombre colour-scheme and artful camera-work turn the screw ever-tighter.

4 stars (Very Good) Bergman's zombie film. So painfully powerful you'd only want to see it once. ~Regando

5 stars (Exceptional) A masterpiece, with amazing cinematography, but some will find it confronting and hard to watch the harrowing story of slow death and relationships between sisters and caregiver. ~emjay
