3.0 out of 5 stars
disturbing interesting but a tad flat,
By
This review is from: Faithful (DVD)
This movie is the sort that provides interesting slices and good acting by Palmiteri and Cher-even though the translation to screen is one dimensional.Cher's depressive and complicated Margaret come off just fine.A bloated and pasty faced O'Neal is boring and believable-but so what,Boring but not interesting enough as a character to care about his point of view .Unfortunately Cher does not look natural in this film,and it is disturbing. The Westchester type setting and the vacant lives of the characters in this film about dead marriage and murder- pair up and leave the viewer with a similar emptiness that does leave one wanting revisitation.

"FAITHLESS",
By Richard Waterhouse (GUILDERLAND, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Faithful (VHS Tape)
THIS IS THE ONLY CHER MOVIE THAT I ONLY SAW ONCE. CERTAINLY,NOT HER BEST. SHE LOOKED LIKE SHE WAS SLEEPWALKING THROUGH THE ROLE & THE MATERIAL WAS LACKLUSTER. I REALLY DIDN'T WANT TO SEE HER SITTING IN A CHAIR THROUGH THE WHOLE MOVIE. SHE NEEDS A WIDE ARENA TO SHINE & THIS MOVIE DIDN'T PROVIDE IT.

FAITHLESS? NO! FAITHFULLY ENJOYABLE,

This review is from: Faithful (DVD)
I would love to rate this 5 stars but I'm an equal opportunity Cher fan. To begin with as other reviewers have remarked, this film - originally produced off Broadway by Palmienteri (who at the time was hot from "The Usual Suspects") does not translate as well to the screen. The wordy script, however, gives Cher some great lines and she really carries the film. It is a very interestingly written screenplay (it varies drastically from the original show) and once again there were rumours of trouble on the set between Cher and Mazursky, the director. The ending and last shot is so obviously stapled on - something Cher was so angry about you can actually see her seething in the scene while she is in the car. And she has good reason - the film reaches a crescendo and then BOOM just falls flat. Cher's performance is wonderful and emotive; unfortunately her recently "touched up lips" shall I say - are hard to ignore in many scenes. (I don't know what she did, however I rode up in an elevator with her back in February and she looked amazing). Ryan O'Neal, as well, is bloated - so there is a desperation of the aging Hollywood actor feel about the film. However, in an odd sense that all actually works very well with the theme of "out with the old" that is O'Neal's character's motivation and Cher's character's desperation as well. A very enjoyable and underrated film.
