Liv & Ingmar

Liv & Ingmar is an anecdotal treasure chest for cinephiles, but more than that, it's a beautifully told love story.

[A] small, likably sentimental film.

The documentary is exclusively about Ullmann and Bergman as human beings and about how they got along.

The documentary not only humanizes Ingmar Bergman as the absent lover-cum-father of everyday life, but works as a priceless oral history of cinema.

Although enjoyable, the movie is perhaps best suited to cinéastes already intimate with Bergman's venerated body of work as well as with Ullmann's many acclaimed screen roles.

If you’re only a casual observer of Bergman, you’ll find this documentary as inaccessible as his densest works.
