As “Faye” presents it, Dunaway was too volcanic and troubled a personality not to pour herself into her roles. That’s part of what made her great. Yet the film also wants to cue us to the gossipy and reductive way that this kind of thinking has too often been applied to her.

Perhaps foremost, “Faye” allows its subject to be, or at least appear, as big, complicated and multifaceted as her life and career, in both the highs and lows, would suggest.

As with any documentary where the star tells the story, “Faye” occasionally comes off a little lighter than a more objective look might have been.

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 how brutally she was sidelined, uncommonly so for a movie star of her stature

The film struggles to find an appropriate ending for a woman who’s itching to get back to work.

Respectful if not revelatory, Bouzereau’s film gives her legacy a massage, gently probing, but also leaving her in peace.

Faye isn’t an exposé. It’s a misty-eyed homage made in collaboration with its subject – and one that relies too heavily on allusion and inference to be truly candid or revelatory.

Apesar dos exageros ao enaltecer a carreira da Faye Dunaway, o documentário é satisfatório em mostrar a evolução da atriz, seus filmes controversos, e ainda pincelar sobre o papel da mulher na metade do século XX, de forma muito competente e muito bem centrado na profissão mesmo, de modo que interesses de sua vida pessoal são muito secundários por aqui, o que é um alento num mundo onde a vida feminina sempre tem uma pegada sensacionalista. Ainda assim, o formato linear e pouco criativo em narrar, torna o documentário meio chato de acompanhar, seustentado pelo peso dos nomes participantes.
