Mr. Bergman may not be praised for it, but he has made a thoughtful, engrossing, shocking film.
Bosley Crowther, New York Times
Rotten
Much suffering, none of it very illuminating.
Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader
Fresh
Never a comfortable film, it's finely acted by a familiar Bergman ensemble, and the awesomely cold vistas form a perfect counterpoint to the spiritual freeze.
