What are critics saying?

Slant Magazine by Diego Semerene

The documentary not only humanizes Ingmar Bergman as the absent lover-cum-father of everyday life, but works as a priceless oral history of cinema.

New York Daily News by Elizabeth Weitzman

If you’re only a casual observer of Bergman, you’ll find this documentary as inaccessible as his densest works.

Los Angeles Times by Gary Goldstein

Although enjoyable, the movie is perhaps best suited to cinéastes already intimate with Bergman's venerated body of work as well as with Ullmann's many acclaimed screen roles.

Village Voice by John Oursler

Liv & Ingmar is an anecdotal treasure chest for cinephiles, but more than that, it's a beautifully told love story.

San Francisco Chronicle by Mick LaSalle

The documentary is exclusively about Ullmann and Bergman as human beings and about how they got along.

The New York Times by Stephen Holden

[A] small, likably sentimental film.
