Jay Carr Boston Globe 04/27/2018
Ingmar Bergman's portrait of his younger and older selves is unsparing, as funny as it is sullen, ultimately touching. Go to Full Review Time Out 06/24/2006
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. Go to Full Review Vincent Canby New York Times 08/30/2004
5/5
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. Go to Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com 06/27/2005
