FACES

About This Movie

FACES (2019) kind of sneaks up on you. It's this intimate look at a filmmaker’s world, capturing moments from his life and those around him. The pacing is contemplative, almost like it invites you to slow down and really absorb the nuances of daily life in different American cities. You get the rawness of summer, with all its warmth and vibrancy, and there’s this authentic, almost tactile connection to the places—Delaware, Philadelphia, Saint Louis, and Los Angeles. The practical effects are subtle but effective; it doesn’t shy away from the ordinary, yet it finds beauty in the mundane. The vignettes flow together, creating a dreamy atmosphere that feels both personal and universal. You really sense a community woven throughout, which is what makes it fascinating.
