Critic Reviews

Owen Gleiberman

After a lifetime of flogging the demons of cosmic despair, Ingmar Bergman, at 88, comes off as lean and vigorous in this fascinating memoir-interview. Read full review

Stephen Holden

Intimate, compelling film. Read full review

V.A. Musetto

An amazing portrait of the great filmmaker Ingmar Bergman in his later years. Read full review

Robert Koehler

Ingmar Bergman lays his soul on the line in Marie Nyreroed's gentle, intimate and thorough documentay. Read full review

Ed Halter

The critic reviews seems to be of this and has nothing to do with the earlier Trilogy. This entire entry needs to be reworked.… Expand
