Fantastic performances and intertwining stories that get better and better right up to a magnificent, if slightly telegraphed, ending.

Apart from one clumsy expository monologue early on, Bergman's in fine form here, examining with his usual insight and intensity the complex emotions of pregnancy and womanhood. The characterizations are top-notch and the interactions between the three women beautifully handled. I also got a kick out of seeing a young Erland Josephson, and Max von Sydow being all upbeat.

After watching this I read over the credits and was surprised to find this wasn't written by Bergman but instead by a woman named Ulla Isaksson, who also wrote The Virgin Spring! Now I'm not so surprised, that was a well written movie, and so is this one... not to mention it'd be kind of odd for Bergman to be so well versed on childbirth, not having a uterus and all...

I suppose something had to come along and ruin my run of impressive Bergman's.

Eva Dahlbeck is simply amazing. Thulin and Andersson are great too, but Dahlbeck really won me over. She provides the film's most devastating moment, one of the most heart-wrenching and sorrowful scenes I've ever seen in a Bergman film. I also get such a kick out of Max Von Sydow when he's playing an upbeat character. A film not without flaws, but rewarding nonetheless
