 | I give this movie 4 stars, but in the right frame of mine it's a definite 5! It's one of those films that needs to be viewed several times. Although not very successful, and with basically no support from Cher, I find the movie well written...can get a little wordy...and well acted. Enjoyed for it's "simpleness" FAITHFUL is fun in it's own way. It can be sad and slightly twisted! (The telephone calls between Chaz's character with his Shrink are a riot!). But for the most part, this film was a welcome return of Cher to the big screen! Almost 5 stars in spite of itself. |

| This movie satisfies. It has elements of mystery, overcoming pain and defeating a sneaky villain. The viewer gets to laugh and feel that a person can win without giving up too much. The story is rich and remains in the mind afterward. |

| 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. |

| 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. |
