Critic Reviews
-
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Faces is the sort of film that makes you want to grab people by the neck and drag them into the theater and shout: 'Here!'
-
Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune
John Marley and Lynn Carlin play the conflicted couple with a raw emotional reality that is uncomfortable to watch and impossible to forget.
-
Renata Adler, New York Times
The movie is very blunt and relentless, sometimes redundant, at moments nearly unintelligible, but the entire effect is as of a high-strung, very bright documentary about the way things are.
-
Jeremiah Kipp, Slant Magazine
People compare Cassavetes to jazz because his films are lively, vivid, and bursting with energy, and Criterion packs this two-disc set of Faces with extras bursting with vitality. Enthusiasts will be pleased.
-
Jeremiah Kipp, Slant Magazine
Cassavetes was interested in actors and their freak-show intensities, and their performances give his films a hyper-real quality.
