Almost good
Faye Dunaway, chill out. I got reminded of Mommie Dearest while watching this. She hams it up a lot here, and it sort of works at times, because Eyes of Laura Mars is also generally pretty over-the-top, but I wasn't sold the whole time.
It's a bit of a dopey movie, which has one gimmick that it doesn't do nearly as many things with as it should, but it's sometimes satisfying as a mystery film.
There are lots of shifty-looking actors here, and if any one of them had been cast as the only shifty-looking actor in a mystery film, you'd be like, "Of course it's them." But this being like the Avengers for actors with kinda unsettling energy kept me guessing, so good job, casting director.
