Filmed at the house they shared and told entirely from Liv’s point-of-view, Liv & Ingmar tells the tale of two great artists that were both lovers and friends, through excerpts from their films, still photos, behind-the-scenes footage, and personal letters.

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.
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.
