9/10
"Bergman's film about the actual figure of Death is one of his funniest and, ultimately, most hopeful works."  DVDTown.com  Christopher Long

A-
"Though it dramatically never comes to life, it does give one a feel of the medieval times' obscene nature, brutality and superstitions."  Ozus' World Movie Reviews  Dennis Schwartz

2/4
"Swedish cinema titan Ingmar Bergman's mopey/earthy 1957 breakthrough The Seventh Seal may have done more than any other film to popularize and demonize the notion of world cinema as the boutique of the cultural intelligentsia."  Slant Magazine  Eric Henderson

4/4
"Easily, one of the greatest films ever made."  MovieMartyr.com  Jeremy Heilman

"I never realized what an astoundingly beautiful film it was."  Parallax View  Sean Axmaker

A-
"Starkly existential, boldly poetic, slow and grim… has haunted film aficionados, baffled and bored college students, inspired innumerable parodists, and challenged both believers and unbelievers for nearly half a century."  Decent Films Guide  Steven D. Greydanus
