It's not my favourite Cassavetes film. It has a tendency to feel more like an acting exercise than a fully fleshed out film. I don't really mean that as a serious criticism, I just think he got better at this as he went on.

Literally nobody acts in a way that is at all in accordance with how real humans act, instead spending 75% of the film breaking out into sporadic fits of histrionic laughter or song & dance. I realize it's used to connote the characters' reluctance to displaying their true emotions; but it didn't work for me, until the final act finds its rhythm -- too little, too late. Cassavetes' incredible formal style on display simply couldn't make up for the larger disconnect I felt towards its characters.

Everyone is in top form here, but now, having seen this, I fully understand Seymour Cassel's legendary status. I initially was smitten with his soft presence in Wes Anderson's films but now I'm in awe of him.
May 25, 2020	djross	65 _69%
Tend to agree with Kael, Going Steady, pp. 195–99. Perhaps she is a tad harsh, but the reliance on characters endlessly laughing or breaking into song seems a bit like a cover for the moments when inspiration fails. Undoubtedly gives a feeling of the despair and hostility that lurks beneath the surface of LA nights, and the performers work hard and sometimes genuinely succeed in conveying that melancholy and impending violence, but somehow the whole thing tends to wear out its welcome.

I couldn't stand the histrionic acting (further exaggerated by the extreme close-ups), and the despair was too-obviously feigned.

Grand, absolutely overdone sad drunkenness-realité, akin to hearing somebody playing the same note on the piano for two long hours. The peaks are high, but the shape is absurd.

Faces is two hours of despair and uncomfortable laughter. There's not a pleasant moment to be found, Cassevetes is relentless in forcing the viewer to confront the darkness of human emotion in extreme closeup. Every scene is very long while ratcheting up the discomfort and denying any sort of satisfying end or closure. It was very good, but also a tough watch that left me feeling pretty hopeless at the end.

This film was seriously tedious. The camera movement sucked and the Dialogue was some of the worst I've ever heard. There were a few good part scattered through out the narrative but not enough. This is the second Cassavetes film I've seen and while this is miles above the crap that was "Shadows" it's still not that good or even mildly interesting. The worst part of this film is the fact that a lot of people talk about how realistic the characters in this movie are and my response is who the fuc

I'm gonna watch this again down the line but I really couldn't get into the groove of it until the very end. The dialogue seemed disconnected, constantly interrupted by strange outbursts of laughter or rage, which is both a plus and a minus as I had trouble following the events whereas in other Cassavetes films I find myself more into the characters and their stories. Here I felt left behind. You can't be in a passive Saturday afternoon mindset for a film like this.
