Cries and Whispers, is one of the most depressing, disturbing, and sickening films that I have ever seen, and left some haunting images in my mind. If there was a positive note that I could take from viewing this movie, is that Bergman does a tremendous job of really rubbing in those brutal moments. Along with disturbing images, we are forced to stare at the soulless faces of the characters due to close-ups that can last minutes at a time. Unfortunately these close-ups result in extremely slow story development, and makes the viewer beg for a disturbing image to pick up the pace. A classic movie for some, but just not my cup of tea.
