Rating: 2.0
Not Your Mainstream Film
I thought Cassavetes' "A Woman Under the Influence" was brilliant, but I'm sorry to say I only lasted 20 minutes into Faces before turning it off. I know it is supposed to be ground-breaking, influential, a masterpiece, etcetera, but I just could not take the annoying characters any longer. The first 20 minutes appeared to be some improvisational piece that had over-stayed its welcome.I respect what Cassavetes did for American independent film, but I think you really have to love experimental film to enjoy Faces.
