Sawdust and Tinsel Reviews
Antagony & Ecstasy
Tim Brayton
Not just a showcase for motifs that Bergman would use to create masterpieces later; it's a great film all by itself.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
It has great performances and is a visual treat, but its masochistic storyline might not be for all tastes.
Slant Magazine
Fernando F. Croce
Pain and degradation follow, inevitably before the eyes of a derisive crowd.
IONCINEMA.com
Nicholas Bell
Surreal, strange and with the pronounced despair and foreboding which would come to characterize Bergman's filmography, Sawdust and Tinsel is a harbinger of humiliation.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
A major early feature by Ingmar Bergman.
The Hudson Review
Vernon Young
The greatest European film to be shown here in the past year -- always excepting La Strada -- is The Naked Night, directed by the virtually unknown Ingmar Bergman.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Myles Standish
The whole thing, has been written and directed by Ingmar Bergman in a style so gloomily arty as to be indigestible.
TV Guide
Hailed by some at the time of its release as Bergman's masterpiece, this is proof of the director's maturing visual and thematic style.
