Ingmar based his screenplay for Sunday's Children on the life of his father, Church of Sweden minister Erik Bergman. Author Geoffrey MacNab wrote that whereas Ingmar's recollections of Erik are damning in his 1982 film Fanny and Alexander, his 1991–92 study of his father is "far more forgiving" in The Best Intentions and Sunday's Children.{{cite book |last=Macnab |first=Geoffrey |title=Ingmar Bergman: The Life and Films of the Last Great European Director |location=London and New York |publisher=I.B.Tauris |date=2009 |isbn=978-0230801387 |page=210}} Critic Vincent Canby also identified Sunday's Children as "a continuation" of Fanny and Alexander and The Best Intentions.{{cite web |url=https://www.nytimes.com/movie/review?res=9F0CEEDD1F31F930A35757C0A965958260 |title=Review/Film Festival; A Bergman Memoir By Son and Father |last=Canby |first=Vincent |work=The New York Times |date=3 April 1993 |access-date=15 December 2017 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171215221543/http://www.nytimes.com/movie/review?res=9F0CEEDD1F31F930A35757C0A965958260 |archive-date=15 December 2017}}
