Time Out
If the film's surface invites superficial comparisons with Bergman, its real roots lie in the very finest American art.
Full reviewThree sisters find their lives spinning out of control in the wake of their parents' unexpected divorce in this Woody Allen drama.
Allen pays homeage to Ingmar Bergman in this family drama involving a fashionable Long Island interior designer who tries to impose her overbearing, critical standards on her husband and her three grown daughters. The film is a realistic look at the relationships among one artistically-oriented family; one daughter is a successful writer; the second is looking for an artistic outlet; and the third is an actress. The mother has been deserted by her husband, their father. She thinks and hopes they may reconcile, but she soon learns that he has other thoughts that circle about a new acquaintance, a woman who has had two husbands and is still lively.
If the film's surface invites superficial comparisons with Bergman, its real roots lie in the very finest American art.
Full reviewIt's almost as if Mr. Allen had set out to make someone else's movie, say a film in the manner of Mr. Bergman, without having any grasp of the material, or first-hand, gut feelings about the characters.
Full reviewAllen, whose comedies have been among the cheerful tonics of recent years, is astonishingly assured in his first drama.
