(1 - 17) of 17 OFCS Rating: 88% Fresh Page   1   "A small made-for-TV project by some guy named Bergman that could well be one of the best films (perhaps even the best film) released in theatres this year."   european-films.net   Boyd van Hoeij B "Any Bergman is better than most of the art-house dramas that have been shipped to the States from Europe in recent times."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz "This is 'Scenes from a Marriage' thirty years later."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Donald J. Levit B "Ullmann and Josephson are old Bergman pros and have evidently learned, over the decades, how to act the roles he assigns them naturally and flawlessly."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider B+ "A poignant, powerful valedictory from one of the true masters of cinema."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 4/5 "In Ingmar Bergman's magisterial last film, we watch family members bare their souls and in their faces we see intimations of the grand emotions which animate us all."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 2.5/5 "Bergman hasn’t lost his touch. But he has lost his vigor."   Filmcritic.com   Jeremiah Kipp B " clearly understands how to involve the audience with his somber material"   Old School Reviews   John A. Nesbit "Like much of Bergman’s later work, Saraband has a guiltily confessional, autobiographical feel to it."   In the Dark   Jonathan F. Richards 4/4 "Bergman consistently evokes the ghost of history in Saraband."   Slant Magazine   Keith Uhlich '2.75/5' "Both a valentine to [Liv] Ullmann and a star-making film debut for [Julia] Dufvenius"   Film-Forward.com   Kent Turner "An excoriating and revelatory experience, scrubbing away yet another layer of skin from the image that the director has created for himself."   Not Coming to a Theater Near You   Leo Goldsmith 5/5 "An extraordinary movie."   Film Threat   Phil Hall 9/10 "In his final summation of the guilt, alienation and ennui that is the stuff of life, Bergman ends with a glimpse of hope in this, his last film."   Monsters and Critics   Ron Wilkinson C+ "The 85-year-old Bergman has proclaimed this his final film and it has the feel of closure. It also feels like the effort of a tired artist reworking the same themes."   Seattle Post-Intelligencer   Sean Axmaker 2.5/4 "The message is the medium."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw "Click here to see review"   Wolf Entertainment Guide   William Wolf  (1 - 17) of 17 OFCS Rating: 88% Fresh Page   1
