As Agnes slowly dies of cancer, her sisters are so deeply immersed in their own psychic pains that they can't offer her the support she needs. Maria is wracked with guilt at her husband's attempted suicide, caused by his discovery of her extramarital affair. The self-loathing, suicidal Karin seems to regard her sister with revulsion. Only Anna, the deeply religious maid who lost her young child, seems able to offer Agnes solace and empathy.

Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Bergman never made another film this painful. To see it is to touch the extremes of human feeling. It is so personal, so penetrating of privacy, we almost want to look away.
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,

fresh:
In order to understand why Cries and Whispers is a great film, it must be experienced, not merely watched.

fresh:
It stands alone and it reduces almost everything else you're likely to see this season to the size of a small cinder.
– Vincent Canby,
New York Times,
20 May 2003
fresh:
Ingmar Bergman's dark vision of the human condition has focused on individuals incapable of real inter-personal communications except on the most primitive level.

rotten:
The much-vaunted color symbolism is so obvious as to be almost charming in its simplicity, and the gothic ambience never really resonates.
