"Daybreak is a fascinating, deeply disturbing drama of love, betrayal, ambition and paranoia. Set during a 24-hour period, the action suggests that human beings are capable of dreadful things, but that despite their failings, there is room for growth and change, sorrow and forgiveness, honesty and saving grace. Pernilla August, a long-time favorite of Ingmar Bergman, heads a superb cast that captures the fire and ice beneath the surface of ordinary life." - Karen Cooper, Film Forum
