Georgan G A unique film crossing a few genres. Facinating plot that I could never guess what would happen next. Question is, who is really in a cult & who is really in control? Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/27/24 Full Review Wayne K Films about cults have the potential to be endlessly fascinating because their mere existence tells us so much about human nature. We can form communities with the most disparate of individuals, we'll sacrifice anything for a sense of belonging, and we'll believe and do anything, no matter how evil, if we've been conditioned to obey a person or group we otherwise would have completely avoided. Faults focuses on the psychology and mental manipulation of a cult member, one who knows what they're doing is right, and it's the rest of the world that's wrong. Leland Orser plays the cult deprogrammer as a pathetic and weak individual who only has a single talent, and even that's doubtful. It's great watching him and Winstead play off each other, and you're constantly asking who's actually in control. Is the teacher taking charge, or is the student just making them think they are? It's the kind of film where not a lot really happens, but you still feel compelled to watch it. It's slow, steadily paced and dialogue driven, opting for deep psychological study rather than violent confrontations and life affirming platitudes. If you're interested in cults and how they shape the lives of their adherents, give Faults a watch and you might just learn something.

Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review stoner j OMG this movie is original as hell and has some really awesome metaphysical twists and turns with an awesome ending to boot. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review william r Well, that was a wild watch. What starts off as a sort of slapstick down-on-his-luck comedy gets turned on its head into something far more twisted and interesting over time. I really appreciate the genre bending going on here even if the ending did escape me a bit. Ira will stick with me for a bit.
