Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
The Serpent's Egg lacks both the strength and depth of Bergman's major work. By going outwardly international, the master becomes perilously close to becoming shallow as well.
– Variety Staff,
Variety,

rotten:
Bergman's paranoia runs dementedly and tediously out of control.
– Derek Adams,
Time Out,
9 Feb 2006
rotten:
A melodrama that never quite makes any connection to the characters within it.
– Vincent Canby,
New York Times,
9 May 2005
rotten:
The movie is a cry of pain and protest, a loud and jarring assault, but it is not a statement and it is certainly not a whole and organic work of art.
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,
23 Oct 2004
rotten:
Ingmar Bergman comes very close to camp in this 1977 study of life (or lack thereof) in the decaying Berlin of the 20s.
