  Cassavetes' probing look at dissolving marriages in the face of suburban malaise may be overlong and excessive, but it's unflinchingly honest at every turn. He's the master of letting scenes develop while simultaneously deconstructing them. Faces may not be his best film, but his directorial prowess is on full display. Cinema verite at its best.

  John Cassavetes's style is the epitome of cool, even when focusing on raw and awkward subjects like adultery and suicide, he somehow makes it look good without passing judgement or glamorising it. Faces isn't meant to be comfortable viewing and at that it succeeds but it also wont let you look away even for a second. That is Cassavetes's greatest skill. He also, as ever, has a brilliant cast of friends that understand him and perform accordingly. Brilliant film, hugely influential too.

  When I saw it, I had never and have still never seen much like it.

• Ken S

  
  Amazing, Intense, Surreal. Like Paul Greengrass filming Eyes Wide Shut as directed by Richard Linklater

• Michael G

  
  Such a crazy and amazing movie.

  This might be my fave John Cassavetes picture. "Faces" is a painful look at the breakdowns of marriage and the breakdown of how people connect and separate through embaressment, lost, and regret. John Marley plays a business exe, has everything in life except how to love. He tells his wife(Lynn Carlin) he wants a divorce, leaves her to be with a hooker (Gena Rowlands) Carlin's character doesn't take the news well, goes to a go-go nightclub with her girlfriends, meets a fresh young hipster (Seymour Cassel) Carlin and Cassel scenes is a powerhouse that must have been exhausting to shoot over and over. If only society wouldn't have to make things so complicated in life we would love each other and be better in relationships a whole lot more.

  An excellent piece of cinema. It has an almost documentary style which makes you feel as if you are eavesdropping on real people in real situations. This of course is down to the brilliant acting, which is so raw and powerful. Cassavetes style won't be for everyone, but it's… More
  An excellent piece of cinema. It has an almost documentary style which makes you feel as if you are eavesdropping on real people in real situations. This of course is down to the brilliant acting, which is so raw and powerful. Cassavetes style won't be for everyone, but it's worth sitting through the 2 hours plus just for the acting alone.

• Linda K

  
  Cassavetes created an interesting view from the men and women perspective of beginning, middle and end of a relationship.
