Jay Carr Boston Globe Ingmar Bergman's portrait of his younger and older selves is unsparing, as funny as it is sullen, ultimately touching. Apr 27, 2018 Full Review Time Out Immensely sympathetic, viewed either as a self-contained work or as part of the Bergman canon, it is written by Ingmar and directed by his son Daniel. Jun 24, 2006 Full Review Vincent Canby New York Times It's really little more than a single anecdote, but an anecdote so full of mirrors, so magically placed, that the film manages to reflect the future while also revealing new interpretations of the past. Rated: 5/5 Aug 30, 2004 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 3/5 Jun 27, 2005 Full Review Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat Spirituality & Practice Powerful teaching tool for men trying to come to terms with their own wounded father inside. Jul 15, 2003 Full Review James Berardinelli ReelViews Ingmar Bergman's days behind the camera may be over, but he apparently still has a worthwhile story or two left to tell.
