Ten-year-old Alexander and his sister, Fanny, are the youngest of the large bourgeois Ekdahl family, which is still reeling from the death of their father. When their mother remarries to a prominent bishop, they are forced to move in with his family, where Alexander suffers from the man's abusive and domineering behavior.

We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.

Chicago Tribune by Michael Wilmington

If the uncut Fanny and Alexander is Bergman's greatest work, as I think, it's because it's his most inclusive. He shows almost everything: all his moods, conflicts, styles and many of his favorite actors.

Variety by Staff

Emerges as a sumptuously produced period piece that is also a rich tapestry of childhood memoirs and moods, fear and fancy, employing all the manners and means of the best of cinematic theatrical from high and low comedy to darkest tragedy with detours into the gothic, the ghostly and the gruesome.
