Review of Faye

Faye (2024)
9/10
Interesting and well-made documentary about a movie star
16 July 2024
This is one of the best documentaries I've seen in a long, long time. In my opinion, a good documentary must be honest, insightful and entertaining. All this can be found here.

Faye Dunaway's career has been long and rich. She may be unknown to many younger moviegoers. It's been a few years since she was an active movie star. This movie reminds us all of her greatness. And that at the height of her career she played in some of the biggest and most important films of the 70s, such as Network.

The documentary's great strength is that Faye herself is the narrator and contributes actively throughout the film, where she narrates in detail in chronological order about her most significant films, private life all the time seasoned with exciting anecdotes. In the documentary, she receives help from her own son, colleagues in the film industry and journalists with in-depth insight into her work. In sum, therefore, this film becomes very interesting and believable.

After seeing the film, I wanted to revisit many of her great achievements on the silver screen, and I think I'll start with Bonnie and Clyde, which gets a thorough review here.
