Immensely sympathetic, viewed either as a self-contained work or as part of the Bergman canon, it is written by Ingmar and directed by his son Daniel.

The story picks up a decade after "Best Intentions," the previous film written by Bergman, leaves off. "Sunday's Children" focuses on a young boy named Pu and his relationship with his father, a local pastor. Pu observes his father as he shifts from being a didactic preacher, to an ill-tempered husband, to a caring and devoted parent. [More]

Reviews for Sunday's Children
It's really little more than a single anecdote, but an anecdote so full of mirrors, so magically placed, that the film manages to reflect the future while also revealing new interpretations of the past.
Powerful teaching tool for men trying to come to terms with their own wounded father inside.
For many, lightweight Bergman can be more enjoyable than almost any other film work.
There's little here you haven't seen in other artists' summer reminiscences. But there's something delicate and magical about this particular season, probably because of the knowledge that you are tapping directly into Bergman's childhood.
Ingmar Bergman's days behind the camera may be over, but he apparently still has a worthwhile story or two left to tell.
The ambiguity of the story, as well as the brooding nature of its subject matter, make for a slow and studious narrative structure that has little in the way of sustained development and payoff.
