Movie Reviews of Faithless
Movie Review: Bergman last gift ?
Summary: 5 Stars
On this movie,Lena Andre proves that she's on the same level of all swedish actress from the past;Greta Garbo,Ingrid Bergman,Ingrid Thulin,Bibi Anderson etc...) The screenplay by Bergamn is one of his best.Liv Ullmann is a great director.5 out of 5.Movie Review: A MASTERWORK
Summary: 5 Stars
A masterwork !!!, Liv Ullman has reached the level of the Master Bergman (and maybe suppered him...)Movie Review: Not Bad, but Not Bergmanesque
Summary: 4 Stars
This movie is a bit boring and a bit hard to follow, but the actual plot is what makes it worth it. Sure, it's self-indulgent, almost to the point of being annoying, and the characters' real positions in the story are not obvious enough (Bergman most of all), but the movie is worth watching a few times, and enjoying for the honesty of the plot; the point is, what Bergman is portraying in this movie happens, happens often, and is not so difficult to relate to. A woman who has an affair, loses her husband, then loses her "affair-ee", ends up with almost nothing in the end but the sadness and guilt of losing everything and being confused and trying to cover up by lying and making choices that she thought she was making for the best: these things happen every day, to many people, and the brutal truth of the story makes it worth it. The acting is quite good, and for a movie in general, 'Faithless' is good, but for Bergman standards, it's definitely not up to potential. If you have an interest in Bergman, get 'Cries and Whispers' or if you want something strange, check out some of his older stuff, even 'Fanny and Alexander' is not quite as boring and confusing as 'Faithless,' but again, this is definitely a movie worth seeing.Movie Review: Unwatchable.
Summary: 1 Stars
I knew people would give this five stars simply because it's Bergman and Bergman can do no wrong. I too love Bergman but this one goes beyond the pale and is sick, not to mention boring. There are no redeeming qualities about this film and the characters are simply the most unappetizing characters I can remember seeing on film. The only "good" person in the film was the poor child, Isabelle. The acting was great; that's about it.
It's a case of where the emperor has no clothes. Bergman lovers refuse to recognize this where Bergman is concerned. If this were his first film, I would never have seen another Bergman film.
Movie Review: not even saved by a good actress
Summary: 1 Stars
While the female lead was strong, credible, and appealing, this contrived and forced movie left much to be desired. The angle of the little girl - Marianne's daughter - had undeveloped possibilities; and Marianne's retrospective suspended the pace and emotion of the movie. The actors were clearly capable and professional, but the whole effect was strained, annoying, and pretensious without any substance.
