   Came away disappointed. This has all of Ingrid Bergman's classiness and elegance, but seems afraid to really dig into the areas that made her so controversial - her children do start a few times saying something along the lines of "It wasn't always fun living without your mother", but then revert to the same pattern of "... but of course she was ever so charming and she should be allowed her freedom". I'm not asking for scandals, but for her Hollywood-pioneering way of life, I think this documentary comes off as fairly ordinary.

   What would my tour of the Criterion Channel through the years be without a documentary on a great figure of film? Ingrid Bergman: In Her Own Words does what it says on the tin, using diaries, letters, home movies, and archival material to tell her story, but a little more too, thanks to the participation of her four children and a couple of co-stars. It's not very much about her career, except in broad strokes, though I was happy to see Autumn Sonata getting a little more attention, since I could now see how it seemed to mirror her absence in her own family units. And that's how this touching, intimate documentary works its magic. Not by expressly telling, but by juxtaposing history, memory, voice and image so the audience can come to its own conclusions. It's impossible to truly KNOW another person, but this is as close as we'll get with Bergman, one of my favorite stars of the Golden Age of Hollywood. She was, above all, and for good or ill, a free spirit, who went where her heart led her and left joy in her wake. 2 years 2 months ago
