The Magician Reviews
Q Network Film Desk
James Kendrick
reflects Bergman's fundamental understanding of the cinema as an illusionistic play of light and shadow that can nonetheless reveal some of the deepest recesses of the human experience
Antagony & Ecstasy
Tim Brayton
Tremendously important Bergman, even it it doesn't have the instant cachet of his more famous and direct movies.
Detroit Free Press
John Monaghan
The movie has elements of Gothic horror and philosophy, along with lusty, low comedy rolls.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
An underrated Ingmar Bergman film.
Groucho Reviews
Peter Canavese
Both a rebuke to critics and a confession of charlatanism, The Magician puts forward a one-of-a-kind examination of the problem of truth in life and in art. [Blu-ray]
Chicago Reader
Don Druker
It is one of Bergman's most tightly structured and frightening films.
Cinemaphile.org
David Keyes
Like the subject it portrays, it is a movie that genuinely seems to sense the guilty delight of life's unending irony.
Not Coming to a Theater Near You
Leo Goldsmith
Following The Seventh Seal and preceding his "Trilogy of Faith", The Magician lies at the heart of one of the most creative periods in Bergman's career.
Film Quarterly
Vernon Young
[The Magician], written by Bergman himself, is quite the richest of the Swedish director's achievements -- which is not necessarily to call it the greatest.
TV Guide
THe Magician is still fascinating, presenting a myriad of challenging ideas about magic, reality, and the nature of film itself.
