Crisis (1946)
** (out of 4)
Ingmar Bergman's first film as director is also the first film of his that I haven't enjoyed. A young girl, living with her foster mother, learns the truth to the world's ugliness when her real mother shows up after eighteen years. Being this was his first film, Bergman's directorial touches aren't quite in place and the screenplay bounces around a little too much to keep this for going for very long. The film becomes way too overly dramatic and the annoying music score doesn't help matters either. The performances are decent but nothing too great.
