To say it was a damning illustration of how Hollywood sucks up and spits out even its biggest stars would be to understate how many of her friends, drowned in berets, cravats, titfers and competitive scarves, looked irretrievably flattened...

[Faye] doesn’t shirk accountability or invalidate the experiences of co-stars who say they feared her, but invites a reappraisal of the sexist notion that she was a belligerent prima donna.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 22, 2024

Respectful if not revelatory, Bouzereau’s film gives her legacy a massage, gently probing, but also leaving her in peace.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 19, 2024

If you want to luxuriate in Dunaway’s potent screen presence, just watch the films; if you’re after juicy yet unverified scandal, read a Reddit thread. This documentary falls into the gap between them.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 19, 2024

Ultimately, it does give you a sense of who she is -- maybe in spite of herself.

Connecting an actor’s onscreen personality with his or her offscreen reality tends to be a dicey proposition. But in “Faye,” an addictive and essential portrait of Faye Dunaway, it turns out to be the right thing to do.

At its best, Faye neither justifies nor condemns the burn book’s worth of digs that Dunaway has had thrown at her over the decades. It simply integrates the bad and the ugly in with the good, sometimes in ways that favor one element over the other two.

It’s a perfect introduction to an actor who has worn the dreaded “D” word -- “difficult” or “diva,” take your pick -- throughout her career, in a film that serves as an unvarnished but appropriately laudatory tribute.

| Jul 15, 2024

A survey of stills and clips that reveals, seduces and astounds, in the sense that one woman could be so stunning in so many ways, so interpretive, so indelible.

| Jul 12, 2024

A far gentler portrait of a difficult woman than everything else on her résumé.

Full Review | Jul 12, 2024

For those of us who have loved Faye Dunaway in movies, Bouzereau’s doc will be bittersweet viewing. It re-examines her run of brilliant, blazing performances in a handful of New Hollywood classics but also leaves us to ponder...

A must-see.
