      David Rooney Hollywood Reporter 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... May 29, 2024 Full Review Kevin Maher Times (UK) A must-see. Rated: 4/5 May 17, 2024 Full Review Matthew Turner Next Best Picture By the time you reach the end of “Faye,” you feel you’ve gotten a respectable, fairly rounded look into not just the famous person you know and already love but the normal person you so desperately wanted to know. Rated: 8/10 May 23, 2024 Full Review Martin Tsai AwardsWatch There are a few revelations not in her Wikipedia entry. In that sense, the film is superior to the average uncritical puff-piece celeb docs that streaming platforms have been churning out of late. May 17, 2024 Full Review Pete Hammond Deadline Hollywood Daily You will find yourself with renewed respect for this great star after watching this film on her life... I found myself wanting to watch many of her films all over again. May 16, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
