Was this review helpful? Saw the US premiere of this movie at the Mill Valley Film Festival. The Face of Love is an eerie love story

Love is love no matter what you look like on the outside. It's fitting that I saw this film and reviewed it today, as, coincidentally, it's the star's birthday today—so a happy birthday to Annette Bening.

Review: ‘The Wedding Guest’ is a Meandering, Frustrating Thriller An impromptu fashion shoot at a book store brings about a new fashion model discovery in the shop clerk. While they are on vacation he unexpectedly and suddenly passes away.

As I said when it came to Enough Said, there is really this strange lack of middle aged, or beyond, romance films. I'm giving this film a 2 just because it is such a welcome change to see romance on film between two middle-aged characters, but if middle-aged people are going to behave like this then never mind. I wish she made more movies.

Summer (Jess Weixler) is their daughter. I won't give away any more of the rather unlikely plot, but Benning's supremely selfish character is impossible to warm to. Along with 'The Angriest Man In Brooklin' this is an example of a film that Robin Williams made late in his life that was released straight to DVD (in the UK at least). Buoyed by a strong cast, this tale of a woman falling for her dead husband's doppelganger manages to gloss over some of its more troubling implications for quite a while. Truly excellent performances by both Annette and Ed! With Kathleen Quinlan, Stephen Collins, Beatrice Straight, Laurence Luckinbill. No pony and no hope of a pony.I'm not a fan of romantic comedies, but with a little tweaking of this preposterous storyline "The Face of Love" might have made a decent light comedy. I found it a bit weird that the director used Ed Harris to play the ex-husband and the new boyfriend and the director made a weird choice of casting Robin Williams as the next door neighbour, who didn't have that many scenes. She wanted to use Tom to fantasize that the old one wasn't over.

Yes the story is a bit far-fetched but for me it worked and it left me thinking which is always a good thing. To be frank, I actually lived with the actors in the movie for its entire time. The emotion that is invokes though is a mix between sadness and anger. 18 out of 22 found this helpful.

Was this review helpful? In the face of demise in his values, a socialist in England decides to form a gang and rob banks for a living. He is believable as Ray a gun welding crook , not a phyco path, but a former lefty who got fed up supporting fringe left-wing causes with nothing to show for it.

But her excellent acting performance overshadows any such flaw. You must be a registered user to use the IMDb rating plugin. When she goes to a museum she spots Tom (Harris), a man who looks exactly like her dead husband. But how Posin tells us the story is very melancholic and truly poetic. 23 of 30 people found this review helpful. So good to see Annette Bening again!

Except for one brief moment, it stopped short of that path.

During World War II, an ordinary inhabitant of a ghetto fakes news about Allied offensives to inspire hope for other victims of the Nazi regime.

She is a woman who is hard to root for but at the same time you can't really root against her. It's successful in part, and it's compelling during its 92 minutes.

Then one day she happens to see this strange man (Tom) at the museum she used to roam with her late husband.

You know why she is doing what she is doing but you can't help but see and feel how selfish she is being.

She hides his resemblance from everyone.

The very end of the film is seriously unpleasant, as we (I assume) are supposed to celebrate the liberation Benning feels as a result of exploiting this poor schmuck whose life she has turned upside down.

FACE OF LOVE is the story of a widow named Nikki (Annette Bening) who, several years after the loss of her husband Garrett, meets a man named Tom … That's how you save a film from a disaster! 6 out of 10 found this helpful. Now that would have been something.

The use of artistry served as a wonderful backdrop for their relationship.
