“The warmth, humour and compassion of this wonderful turn-of-the-century family saga make it one of the most accessible movies ever made by Sweden’s greatest director. The story, which covers two years in the life of a well-to-do household as seen through the eyes of a small boy, is rendered all the more fascinating by the autobiographical elements that Bergman has included and by Sven Nykvist’s Oscar-winning photography. The film takes us on a magical mystery tour of the child’s encounters with his oppressive, puritanical father, his God-fearing mother and his loving family in an atmosphere that is both cosy and scary. The result is an unmissable experience from a master film-maker. 5/5” —Tom Hutchinson, Radio Times (UK)
