Ben Sachs Chicago Reader The film doesn't provide any new information for those already familiar with Bergman's life and work, though some of the interviewees are insightful. Mar 11, 2020 Full Review Peter Keough Boston Globe Peripatetic and provocative... Rated: 3/4 Dec 13, 2018 Full Review G. Allen Johnson San Francisco Chronicle Bergman fans will love this film, but the great thing about "Searching for Ingmar Bergman" is that budding cineastes who are curious about his work will find much value in it as well. Rated: 4/4 Nov 28, 2018 Full Review Q.V. Hough Vague Visages “‘Searching for Ingmar Bergman’ is one of the better documentaries about a legendary filmmaker.” Oct 1, 2022 Full Review María Caballero Fotogramas The documentary delves into the vital and artistic contradictions that orbited Bergman. [Full Review in Spanish] Rated: 4/5 Jul 29, 2019 Full Review Carlos Marañón Cinemanía (Spain) Flirting with the cliche, its constants circulate through a story animated by the detective [director Margarethe] Von Trotta and by original revelations about his ego, his cinephilia, his legacy. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 4/5 Jul 15, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews
