• “It’s a limited series that will make you empathize deeply, often painfully, with the strange choices that humans make, and how and why we so easily damage our loved ones. It’s a much sexier Faithless than the 2000 film, but in a raw, sad way that’s complicated by the ramifications of desire. /…/ It’s all very good, and very wise. /…/ Instead of the apparition of his ex-lover appearing before him, as in Bergman’s original script, Sara Johnsen constructs a less subjective and more equal approach, with the also aged Marianne visiting David. This is a smart choice and decenters the narrative strictly from David’s memory and desires. /…/ Faithless is wonderfully erudite in the way it addresses the inevitability of lust and the psychological conflict of desire. The characters are intelligent about their selfishness; they’re cognizant of consequences. Through dialogue and the time-splitting framing device, Faithless thoughtfully meditates on how people can fully commit to things they morally or logically oppose.”
