Watch Fanny and Alexander For Free

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Admirable film.

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Two young Swedish children experience the many comedies and tragedies of their family, the Ekdahls. Fanny och Alexander is another horribly boring IMDb Top 250 films of all time with no well enough structure what so over. The acting was horrible, the script was horrible, the characters were horrible and pretty much everything was horrible and the Metacritic score of 100 is just a joke that isn't even funny to begin with. There's so many great movies that deserve to be in the list and instead we get something so muddled and boring like this? (0/10)

Staying with this film for the first hour and a half or so was an exercise in extreme patience - nothing happened. It was as if you were an observer at a family holiday dinner without participating in the meal. It was simply boring beyond reason, and if I weren't steadfast about watching a film in it's entirety in order to review it, I would have given up at the half way point.And then something interesting happened. Unlikely as it was that the widow Emilie (Ewa Froling) would have married that skunk, the Bishop (Jan Malmsjö), that's exactly what happened, setting up a nasty little adventure between the Bishop and the title characters. There was a point in the story I would have gladly handed Emilie or Alexander (Bertil Guve) a bottle of rat poison to take out that monster. Not to mention that maid Justina (Harriet Andersson) who couldn't help herself snitching on the young siblings. Couldn't you have just strangled her?So it wasn't entirely a waste of three hours, but quite honestly, the best thing about this picture for me were the lavish and ornate sets, and the cinematography that brought that richness out in detail to the audience. Reflecting on the title of the movie, I had to wonder why it wasn't simply called 'Alexander' since he turned out to be the principal player. Little Fanny was cute enough but without a whole lot to do and wasn't on screen very much. My best recommendation - start watching the film about half way into the story and you'll get most everything you need to know about in the young life of Fanny and Alexander.

Ingmar Bergman's farewell to cinema, being his last feature film. Or rather it got torn down into one as it was originally an over 5 hour TV mini series. The film depicts the lives of its title characters, Fanny and Alexander, and their extended family, the Ekdahls, a wealthy aristocratic family living in the early 20th century Uppsala, Sweden.I've personally only seen the mini series, so I'm a bit unclear as to what was taken out for the 3 hour feature version, but let's talk about the story as a whole. The film is a pretty straightforward period drama, which is a bit surprising, given that Bergman has a reputation for the artistic side of film making. And yes, there are hints of that in this film, but not all that many. It's mainly at the very beginning, and then during the fifth act. I'd even go so far as to say that the second and third acts are downright clichéd and dull. That's how formulaic they are.That being said, the acting is really good, the sets and costumes are gorgeous, there are some truly touching scenes even in the dullest acts, and the characters, the Ekdahls especially, are remarkably likable. The first act might be some of the finest character and world building I've seen in years. There's a metric ton of characters to introduce, all with their quirks and motivations, yet the film pulls it off flawlessly. Well, at least the mini series.Does the rest of the film meet the expectations laid out by this marvelous first act? Yes and no. As I've said, the second and third act are kind of clichéd, and the final act gets really bizarre, but I'll give it this: It's memorable. I'll remember this film. I enjoyed watching it, and while it might not be the finest drama I've ever seen, at least I got something out of it. Which is not as common as you'd think.

A very broad story for Bergman, "Fanny & Alexander" contains a load of interesting themes and ideas, ranging from religion to sexuality to aging and the difficulty of growing up. It's visual style glows in warm tones of red, and the cavalcade of characters is diverse, with some nicely applied magical realism to spice things up even further.I did feel that the film kept the viewer at too great a distance to its characters, which are left a bit thin and vague for my taste. Could this be due to the alleged autobiographical components? Furthermore, I felt that the storytelling wasn't as tight or sharply directed as in Bergman's best masterpieces.
