As you maybe know, the Swedish Film Institute has an English language page on the film. There are 155 images (stills, posters etc.) and lots of miscallenous info. The film has been showed on Swedish tv in 1988 and 1998 (I've missed it, unfortunately). It was shown in Stockholm in 2015 (Filmhuset), and a DCP source is available for projection. SFI also has real prints.
SFI's Swedish language entry on Ordet has excerpts of contempoary press reviews (very positive ones) in the section "kommentarer".
I found a couple of more recent English-language bits about the film, the 1st one from a 2016 garbo-seastrom blogpost (sic):
The 2nd one is from IL CINEMA RITROVATO 2005, page 65 of the pdf:[Forsyth] Hardy later chronicles that Molander had filmed The Word (Ordet) written by slain playwright Kaj Munk. "Molander recreated the theme in the setting of a small Swedish coastal community and gave it an atmosphere so realistic that there was no hint of a stage or studio. Victor Sjostrom played the tyrannical old farmer...and Rune Lindstrom, who collaborated in the treatment, played one of the sons, who studying for the church, loses first his faith...The supreme test for director and players came in the final scene of the half-demented youth's miraculous act of faith after tragedy had overtaken his family...Molander had succeeded because he was able to create and sustain an atmosphere in which the events he described seemed natural and convincing."
Jon Wengström – Svenska Filminstitutet wrote:Ordet has been unjustly neglected over the years, mainly becau-se of Carl Th. Dreyer’s adaptation of the same play twelve years later. Molander’s film may lack the austerity of Dreyer’s version, but it has a tense, dramatic atmosphere and the visual imagery at times evokes that of silent cinema. Victor Sjöström is magnificent as the ageing patriarch, clenching his fists to God in the manner of Terje Vigen. In Molander’s version of Ordet the action is set on the West coast of Sweden, traditionally a strong-hold for schartaua-nism, a very grim form of lutheranism. Shooting took place at the studio in Råsunda and on location in the south-west of Sweden between August and October 1943, and the film was released at Christmas 1943. The war tragically cast its shadow over the film as Munk, a priest involved in the Danish resistance, was killed by orders from the Gestapo in January 1944, just ten days after the film’s release.
