Leave your thoughts about The Virgin Spring.
| Chicago ReaderDon DrukerThe period details are magnificently worked into the narrative, and the pace and economy of the tortured Swede's storytelling make his metaphysics infinitely easier to take. |
| Old School ReviewsJohn A. NesbitAlthough the story plays straightforwardly, greater enjoyment comes through pondering the meanings behind Bergman's symbolic tapestry. |
| ForbesLuke Y. ThompsonThat it's shot like a fairytale forest showcases the glory of God's creations, which are of course marred by the hideousness of men's hearts. |
| Film ThreatMatthew SorrentoEasily lost amid a brilliant career, The Virgin Spring once again shows Bergman's control in capturing the furthest ranges of emotion. |
| PopMattersChris BarsantiThe Virgin Spring is Bergman's murder ballad: Bloody, remorseless, and tragic. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyWinner of the Foreign-Language Oscar Picture, the film represents the first peak of Ingmar Bergman's creativity, released right after The Seventh Seal and before Through a Glass Darkly, all three masterpieces. |
| DVDJournal.comMark BourneAlthough the 'jiggery-pokery' does mute the 'actual, horrible story,' Bergman still poses worthy questions, offering no answers, a key difference between art and baloney, or spirituality and dogmatism. |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonThe master guides us through this heartbreaking tale with a delicate hand and a gorgeous, poetic touch. It's actually one of his simplest and most moving works -- a film to be savored and pondered. |
| New York TimesBosley CrowtherIt is far from an easy picture to watch or entirely commend. For Mr. Bergman has stocked it with scenes of brutality that, for sheer unrestrained realism, may leave one sickened and stunned. |
| User ReviewLina A10/10 for me....an extra ordinary performance by Max von sydow..the ending was a blast ..every thing about this movie is great and daring...bergman is the best |
