September is hard to explain.  It's written and directed by Woody Allen.  There's only a tiny scrap of humor hidden in this one.  It's very much like a later Bergman film.  It takes place in one house and it unfolds through dialog like a play.  There's no obvious build, but there is a touch of tension with the characters that is then released in the climax, but it's a long, not-so-interesting journey to get there. 
     Honestly, I liked September.  I don't suggest watching it unless you're a true believer in Woody Allen or Bergman.  But I thought it was a well written, well acted drama.  I'd also like to note that the sound design was superb.
