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.

this is a movie which revels in the mess of real life, riotously exaggerated, as opposed to both your schematic hollywood fictions and neo-realism's brand of deromanticised restraint. but simultaneously, it's also examining precisely what constitutes "real life" and real human connections; it's a film about "mechanical men" and women which reveals flashes of real, naked vulnerability beneath their layers of artifice - a tension that's mirrored by the tone of the film itself.

No matter how they try to sing, rhyme, or guffaw it away, sooner or later everyone blows up, in moments that are patterned but never predictable. Diminishing returns set in once that's established, but then, should it even be otherwise? Like Shadows, it primarily showcases male anger; a deep well to draw from, surely, but I'd like to see the women break free of their stoic soldiering-on more often. This is not the battle of the sexes so much as a massacre.

Going in you have to know that a rather sizeable chunk of Faces consists of faces telling jokes that aren't funny, laughing for incredible lengths at said jokes or just laughing out of the blue, singing annoying old songs for minutes on end, dancing awkardly and shouting a lot. It's probably Cassavettes most painfully raw movie and all this carrying on seems done mostly in favor of tiptoeing around adressing any of the countless problems in these peoples lives. Excellent stuff, hard to like.

It has its moments of greatness, but overall it's incredibly testing. Recreates the atmosphere of the conversations of these people, which in this film hardly equates to anything entertaining or inquisitive to watch.

follows a man and a woman in two separate storylines after the man asks for a divorce. it isn't completely focused, but the realistic canvas of characters that cassavetes creates always elevates the drama, and the actors convey complex emotions with ease. there's also an enormous amount of laughing.
Dec 17, 2013	glumpy_99	81 _56%
Possibly one of the most 'real' and 'authentic' portraits of human beings interacting with each other; an object lesson in why drama rarely reflects 'real life' as real life is by turns shambling, thrilling, awkward and dreary; it takes a film-maker of Cassavetes' skill to shape this quite haphazard, improvisatory material into anything resembling successful drama; it's not always successful but works brilliantly when it is; performances (especially from Marley and Avery) are splendid.
