But she is tormented by Markus' decision not to let her have custody of their daughter.

New York Daily News by Elizabeth Weitzman
Hits so hard because it feels so real.
Wall Street Journal by Joe Morgenstern
A stunning drama that's distinguished by a magnificent performance; the most powerful scenes are those that play, as recollection or confession, on Lena Endre's lovely face.
Los Angeles Times by Kevin Thomas
Complex, challenging and richly rewarding, it glows with the kind of wrenchingly selfless portrayals that are the hallmark of the Bergman classics.
San Francisco Chronicle by Mick LaSalle
Much of the film is so wrenching there's no time for idle thoughts.
Entertainment Weekly by Owen Gleiberman
A domestic tragedy of lacerating vision.
Seattle Post-Intelligencer by Paula Nechak
Ullmann has honed a too-long and sometimes relentless film that delves into the selfishness of passion but also captures the elusiveness and unpredictability of love.
It makes us realize, suddenly, and with immense regret, what the rest of contemporary cinema so sorely lacks.
Chicago Sun-Times by Roger Ebert
Intriguing in the way it dances in and out of the shadow of Bergman's autobiography.
The New York Times by Stephen Holden
This attenuated two-and-a-half-hour reflection on marriage, adultery, parenthood and the casualties of sexual warfare unfolds like a brooding autobiographical epilogue to Mr. Bergman's much stormier 1973 masterpiece, "Scenes From a Marriage."
