Face to Face feels scattershot and incomplete, never adequately establishing connections between characters, motivations for significant actions, or even the simple causalities of time and space.

What are critics saying?
Chicago Reader by Jonathan Rosenbaum
Ingmar Bergman at his most painful, pretentious, and empty.
Chicago Sun-Times by Roger Ebert
A confused and sometimes overwrought new treatment of the director's most obsessive theme, suicide.
The New York Times by Vincent Canby
Bergman creates a stunning picture not only of personal anxiety but also of the fury that may exist just below the surface of any perfect state.
