To achieve more effective treatment, a nurse (Bibi Andersson) and her patient (Liv Ullmann) -- an actress who's lost the power of speech -- check into a private cottage by the sea, where the two isolated women become co-dependent and insanely jealous of each other. It's a case of the cure being worse than the affliction in this black-and-white cinematic classic directed by Swedish master Ingmar Bergman.
Netflix Rating: 3.8
Top Rotten Tomatoes Critics: Ingmar Bergman's best film, I suppose, though it's still fairly tedious and overloaded with avant-garde cliches. full review

Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader

Bergman has come up with probably one of his most masterful films technically and in conception, but also one of his most difficult ones. full review

Variety Staff, Variety

Miss Ullmann and Miss Andersson just about carry the film -- and exquisitely, too. full review

Bosley Crowther, New York Times

A film we return to over the years, for the beauty of its images and because we hope to understand its mysteries. full review
