(M) Cries and Whispers (1972 Ingmar Bergman)
Grade: C

This story revolves around 4 women, one is dying, her two sisters whom are by her side in her last days, and the maid. The movie shows everyones current relationship with each other as well as a significant memory from their past. The movie is depressing and downbeat from start to finish.

One sister reflects on her mothers lonliness and boredom with life and relates. Another recalls an affair that she had. The third sister recalls a moment when she and her husband are obviously not doing well and she results to self-mutilation.

After the sisters death one of the sisters reaches out to the other to be closer to her rather than just an acquaintance but the sister responds with telling her that she hates her. Later the tables turn.

It's a fun filled adventure for the WHOLE family!
