...The level of acting is uniformly quite high....The true star of THE BEST INTENTIONS is Bergman's script....Few other writers are as adept at delineating the troubling back and forth of a relationship...
Los Angeles Times
August keeps a discreet distance from the harsher realities, making The Best Intentions must viewing only if you find diluted Bergman better than no Bergman at all.

Rolling Stone
...Moving....The two lead performers are superb, especially Pernilla August, whose radiant sensuality and pride evoke an entire Berman universe of emotionally engulfing women...
Entertainment Weekly
Though the level of acting is uniformly quite high, the true star of The Best Intentions is Bergman's script.

Los Angeles Times
Rating: B+ --
Though Bergman only wrote (but didn't direct), the film is permeated with his unique angst and thematic concerns, and casting Pernilla August in a major role establishes strong link to Fanny and Alexander, in which she played the servant.

...[A] compelling new collection of pressure-packed scenes...
USA Today
The Best Intentions is full of high drama, but the low-key, matter-of-fact telling makes everything fall into order quite naturally. High drama, in this case, does not really mean big, explosive scenes.

Product Description:
Scripted by Academy Award winner Ingmar Bergman, this film depicts his parents and their complex love story over a decade of upheaval, from 1909 when they first meet to the summer of 1918 when Bergman was in his mother's womb, about to embark on his own journey through life.
