To be sure, this story of four disparate souls whose lives are bound up in the fate of an old salvage boat is hardly in the league of The Seventh Seal and Wild Strawberries. Even so, the film contains the seeds of the great Bergman films to come, especially when dealing with the inner turmoil experienced by the four protagonists. Singled out for praise by the critics was Holger Lowenalder's performance as the taciturn ship's captain. The script was adapted by Bergman from a play by Martin Soederhjelm. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Dennis Schwartz, Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Though far from one of the master director's better films, it still has a few dazzling moments to be awed by.
