		Pete Hammond Deadline	"You will find yourself with renewed respect for this great star after watching this film on her life"
		Owen Gleiberman Variety	"An addictive and essential portrait of Faye Dunaway"
		David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter	"A revealing portrait (...) Director Laurent Bouzereau takes on the Oscar winner's career highs and lows, her personal life, her bipolar disorder and her "difficult" reputation"
		Brian Lowry CNN	"'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."
		John Serba Decider	"One of the strongest, most insightful and entertaining celeb documentaries in recent memory. And considering how many there are, that’s saying something"
		Kevin Maher The Times	"A must-see (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		David Fear Rolling Stone	"[It] balances the good of her singular acting career, the bad of her reputation and the ugliness of her personal struggles in a lovely, if lopsided profile"
		John Anderson The Wall Street Journal	, Mr. Bouzereau proceeds to immerse his viewer in Ms. Dunaway’s photographic history, a survey of stills and clips that reveals, seduces and astounds
		Tim Robey Telegraph	"A cautious circling of Dunaway, Hollywood’s ‘most difficult’ actress (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Amy Nicholson The Washington Post	"HBO’s affectionate Faye Dunaway documentary embraces a difficult woman (...) 'Faye' reveals an actor who had much in common with her characters (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"
		Rachel Aroesti The Guardian	"This misty-eyed homage to 'Bonnie and Clyde' star Faye Dunaway papers over her reputation for being difficult – but is still a troubling portrait (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
