	Author	Review
United States	Todd McCarthy The Hollywood Reporter	"Reasonably engaging as far as it goes (...) It leaves a good deal to be desired (...) because it [doesn't] goes deep"	NEU
United States	Owen Gleiberman Variety	"A documentary that bubbles over with anecdote and insight (...) Von Trotta puts her passion for Bergman front and center"	POS
United States	David Fear Rolling Stone	"[It's] not interested in being particularly objective or definitive (...) Von Trotta’s subjective take (...) merely wants to offer a sample platter of feelings, remembrances and anecdotes (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Leonardo Goi The Film Stage	"It’s a game of talking heads that never grows boring (...) 'Searching' crafts what is arguably the most interesting portrait of Bergman’s"	POS
United States	Matt Hoffman Film School Rejects	"It’s a refreshing departure from the usual biographical documentary and offers a peek into the underseen parts of Bergman’s life and career."	POS
United Kingdom	Allan Hunter Screendaily	"[It] captures a very human portrait of a complex man (...) The surprise element of the film is the amount of archive footage featuring Bergman himself"	POS
Canada	Jim Tudor Screen Anarchy	"Though not the first documentary about Ingmar Bergman, this is the best (...) A proper look into the man and his methods"	POS
