82-year-old Ingmar Bergman takes one of the most painful, shameful episodes of his own life and, writing for director Liv Ullmann, transmutes it into magical, brilliant artistry.

Philadelphia Inquirer by Desmond Ryan

The movie may be the meditation of an old man, but rarely has a supreme artist's twilight been so richly illuminating. Faithless makes other films on the same subject seem clueless.

Entertainment Weekly by Owen Gleiberman

A domestic tragedy of lacerating vision.

It makes us realize, suddenly, and with immense regret, what the rest of contemporary cinema so sorely lacks.

Los Angeles Times by Kevin Thomas

Complex, challenging and richly rewarding, it glows with the kind of wrenchingly selfless portrayals that are the hallmark of the Bergman classics.

Wall Street Journal by Joe Morgenstern

A stunning drama that's distinguished by a magnificent performance; the most powerful scenes are those that play, as recollection or confession, on Lena Endre's lovely face.

Washington Post by Desson Thomson

What's best about Faithless is its honesty, its lack of desire to ingratiate itself with the audience.

Chicago Sun-Times by Roger Ebert

Intriguing in the way it dances in and out of the shadow of Bergman's autobiography.

Boston Globe by Jay Carr

Ullmann's film is an achievement of heart and consequence, as full of integrity as Bergman, yet demonstrating more mercy.

USA Today by Staff [Not Credited]

The sometimes fatiguing slow flow in hour one is worth the labor because the power in this 2-hour triumph reveals itself gradually.

Seattle Post-Intelligencer by Paula Nechak

Ullmann has honed a too-long and sometimes relentless film that delves into the selfishness of passion but also captures the elusiveness and unpredictability of love.

The New York Times by Stephen Holden

This attenuated two-and-a-half-hour reflection on marriage, adultery, parenthood and the casualties of sexual warfare unfolds like a brooding autobiographical epilogue to Mr. Bergman's much stormier 1973 masterpiece, "Scenes From a Marriage."

San Francisco Chronicle by Mick LaSalle

Much of the film is so wrenching there's no time for idle thoughts.

New York Daily News by Elizabeth Weitzman

Hits so hard because it feels so real.

Christian Science Monitor by David Sterritt

An intense, claustrophobic drama of love and infidelity.
