I really liked what Bergman did with the naive small-town-girl moving to the big city scenario. Starts out playful, almost as "a comedy", and then turns out anything as. Not sure I liked the combination of characters. While the dramatic portions had a lot of flair, Jack was a little too much, eating up most of the emotional impact before it hits one. But this was overall a well constructed film, more provoking than your average Swedish production at the time. Easy to see why Bergman stood-out.

Em honra do centenáio de Stig Olin (eu não sabia que ele era pai da Lena Olin). É uma estreia promissora para o Bergman, embora naos-luz do que ele se tornaria 10, 20, 30, anos depois. Coleção Ingmar Bergman Volume 8

This debut by Bergman gets a lot of flak. Undeservedly so, cause it's a very decent debut. The plot is a very simple moralistic tale, which is matched with surprisingly confident simple directing from Bergman, who already shows impressive skills for framing, long shots and camera movements. (Tho this might have been the influence of Sjöström, who consulted Bergman on this)

Conventional little melodrama about the virtues of motherhood and small town life (and the vices of licentiousness and big city living), based on an "appalling" play "written by a Danish hack" (Bergman's words). With a script written in 14 nights, it perhaps shows that, from the outset, Bergman was interested in interactions between female characters and women's experience, already with a faint taste of the existential dread that would take centre stage twenty years later in films like PERSONA.

Fun to watch from a historiographical POV but it's arguably Bergie's least impressive (which is still better than a lot tbh) and we all know it.

I just couldn't follow...this movie requires more attention than I gave it. Loud sound cues. Rewatch: typical small town girl gets corrupted by big city story. Melodrama. Fav scene: Jack getting tossed.

Bergman's proper debut is a standard melodrama with the occasional pretense of more, but would probably have been better if it had settled for just melodrama. There are hints of things to come both in themes and imagery, and a couple of quite nice scenes, but it never quite gels and apart from Sudden Monologues Out Of Nowhere you'd think these characters didn't have a care in the world.

I didn't find this as awful as some apparently did. The characters might be underdeveloped and it's not an overly strong narrative, but compelling enough and certainly strong for a debut. I think there is an intimation of what Bergman would become, however slight. And yes, as others have noted here, it is quite nicely shot.

Bergman's feature debut is apparently no indication of the titan he would become later in his career. What a bland film, I only watched it this morning and I've already forgotten nearly all of it.

Obviously Bergman's first; the narrator referencing the theatre like qualities of cinema alone stands out. Continues themes he introduced in his Torment screenplay.

A pretty pedestrian film. Super overdramatic with some really forced, cutesy narration and rather hammy acting. The only real redeeming feature is Bergman's decent camerawork.

Bergman's first directorial effort and it shows. The music is overbearing, the narration is precious, some shots are out of focus, the acting is hammy. Dialogue chugs along like a freight train, without the meaningful pauses and facial expressions that would later characterize his deep understanding of human communication. And the ending of the film is terribly unsatisfying. There are some inventive shots, though. The highlight of the film is the noir-esque climax.
