Face to Face Ratings & Reviews
El Nuevo Herald (Miami)
Rene Jordan
Liv Ullman accomplishes, without debate, the most notable performance of an actress in 1976, and her scene of hysteria is so real that you don't know whether to applaud or run from the theater. [Full review in Spanish]
The Barb (Atlanta)
Steve Warren
Face to Face is the year's heaviest drama, and its realism will be too much for most people to handle. Liv Ullmann gives one of the all-time great female star performances as a psychiatrist who's losing her mind.
Saturday Review
Judith Crist
Bergman's Face to Face is one of his finest films, the most humanistic and thereby the most accessible, perhaps because it is the most personal.
Ann Arbor Sun
Armond White
Ms. Ullmann achieves something like emotional 3-D... The movie in which this remarkable performance appears, however, is not so hot -- Ingmar Bergman's art is puny compared to Ullmann's this time around.
Alternate Ending
Tim Brayton
It definitely works less than the films immediately preceding it.
Philadelphia Gay News
Ed Barnard
Bergman can be credited for directing Ullman in what may be the performance of her career. I do not feel, however, that I saw a Bergman film. Rather, I felt I was watching a film that Ullman gave the master permission to put his name on.
Los Angeles Free Press
Jacoba Atlas
Somehow, despite the pain, despite the torment, Face to Face lacks fire.
Gannett News Service
Bernard Drew
Face to Face, [Ingmar Bergman and Liv Ullmann's] latest collaboration, is not only their most devastating but their most moving, their most profound, and their best. It is is a mind-blowing experience from beginning to end.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Suffocating psychodrama.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
This dramatically intense drama about depression and nervous breakdown garnered director Ingmar Bergman and actress Liv Ullmann well-deserved Oscar nominations.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
Bergman stays close on [Ullmann's] face for long portions of this 136-minute movie, and she finds its key: she never acts crazy.
House Next Door
Keith Uhlich
Cries out for Madeline Kahn to step in, cigarette in hand, and inquire, "Phallic-un zymbol?"
New York Times
Vincent Canby
Mr. Bergman is more mysterious, more haunting, more contradictory than ever, though the style of the film has never been more precise, clear, levelheaded.
TIME Magazine
Jay Cocks
This is a strange, stormy period for Ingmar Bergman.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
Ingmar Bergman at his most painful, pretentious, and empty.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Bergman has put in the Freudian asides and fireworks for his own reasons but great director that he is, he hasn't in the process stood between Liv Ullmann and the camera.
TV Guide
An extremely intense experience from start to finish, due in large part to Ullmann's performance as she powerfully expresses a range of emotions seldom seen in American films.
Spirituality & Practice
Mary Ann Brussat
An Ingmar Bergman film with Liv Ulmann in a tour de force performance of a woman whose breakdown brings her a close encounter with her inner anguish
