Richard (John Marley) has been seeing a prostitute (Gena Rowlands) and the time has come to tell his wife Maria (Lynn Carlin) that he wants a divorceā¦ John Cassavetes is true to his style, the acting is exceptionally good and the title well chosen; we all have different faces for different situations and there are many sequences here where appearances are challenged. Engaging at times but all the sequences where everybody do nothing but say stupid things and laugh about it tend to get boring. Itās a film you can admire without really enjoying it.
