Faithless Reviews
Ullmann’s best work by far, with one of the greatest film performances ever, by Lena Endre.
| May 2, 2024
A suffocating, anachronistic piece of film-making.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 26, 2024
Faithless is an engrossing assertion of the Swedish art film director's propensity for profound navel-gazing into the morality of our actions.

It's all the more moving that, after half a lifetime, Ingmar Bergman and Liv Ullmann are still seeking illumination, and expiation, through the public yet intensely personal medium of film.

This could be a regretful remembrance of things past on the part of "Bergman" or it could be a pure fiction torn from the ether.

While not to everyone's taste, the technical and narrative complexity alone are to be applauded - the film looks gorgeous, and the film is both literate and witty.
| Original Score: A- | Jun 21, 2007
Faithless comes with a pedigree that's hard to beat.
| Original Score: 3.5/4 | May 26, 2006

It's a movie that shows us that the silence between two people can be more dramatic than 100 pages of dialogue.

Faithless is a journey worth taking, but it's best to travel alone.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 4, 2003
It's a provocative, deeply detailed film, finely crafted both in the studio and in the editing room by Ullman.

The then over-amplification of psychiatric-like meetings and counseling and the trivial and pedestrian matter of the affair are drowned in a mawkish, morose and unendurable pacing.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 10, 2002
A probing look at love, marriage, fidelity, rivalry, and other deep-rooted emotional issues.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 20, 2002
No longer seeking God and Truth, Bergman now searches for the more attainable goals of forgiveness and redemption.
| Original Score: B | Nov 20, 2002

It's well worth seeing ... as long as two and a half hours of intense Swedish drama don't scare you off!
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Nov 20, 2002
Bergman has been far better at working out these themes than anything in Faithless would suggest.

Without giving too much away, I can tell you that my response to these events was a thundering 'duh.'
| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 20, 2002
Henriksson, Hanzon and Josephson are fine as well, but the film belongs to Endre and Gylemo.
