Synopsis
A young nurse, Alma, is put in charge of Elisabeth Vogler: an actress who is seemingly healthy in all respects, but will not talk. As they spend time together, Alma speaks to Elisabeth constantly, never receiving any answer. The time they spend together only strengthens the crushing realization that one does not exist.

Total Film
It explores two of the filmmaker’s pet themes – the impossibility of true communication, the futility of art – and is set against the Vietnam War. Extraordinary. - 100
Chicago Sun-Times
Persona is a film we return to over the years, for the beauty of its images and because we hope to understand its mysteries. - 100
Chicago Tribune
One of the screen's supreme works and perhaps Ingmar Bergman's finest film, "Persona" is also his most radical in form and technique. - 100
The Guardian
Persona is a film to make you shiver with fascination, or incomprehension, or desire. - 100
Empire
Wonderfully complex but warmly human, Bergman's drama is one of his very best. - 90
Time Out
Not an easy film, but an infinitely rewarding one. - 90
The Dissolve
Persona feels like an act of disclosure on Bergman’s part, with him pulling back the curtain to acknowledge the fantasy of filmmaking and global realities that linger in his mind. - 80
The New Yorker
Bergman blends a theatrical subjectivity—scenes of the inner life that defy physical reality and depend on special effects, whether in the film lab or on set—with a tactile visual intimacy, with his characters, the objects close at hand, and the superb coastal landscape.
