Accessible or not, I loved it. I found Faces to be a bit of a mess, great potential but wound up being too much yelling and not enough purpose. The day will certainly come when I'll watch it again, and it may produce a different reaction, but I've generally enjoyed Cassavettes acting roles more. As a companion piece though I enjoyed Shadows a lot more, seemed freer to me, and more significant in terms of the type of film he made there. Faces came out in 1968 when many other, and imo better, independent and artistic movies were being released.
