Film Review – The Seven Faces of Jane

“The Seven Faces of Jane” is an experimental film where eight directors take a crack at following the journey of a single character through various short tales of introspection and loneliness. The production labels this dramatic mission “exquisite corpse,” with the moviemakers unaware of any master plan, keeping their segments free of connective tissue, encouraging a more challenging, artful game of storytelling. “The Seven Faces of Jane” is strange and emotional, taking viewers on a bumpy ride of charged encounters and quiet reflection, with star Gillian Jacobs the through line for the endeavor, tasked with communicating different psychological spaces for the same character, delivering one of the best performances of her career as she helps to guide viewers through the weirdness of dramatic interpretation and fragmented plotting presented in a puzzle that’s not meant to be solved, just appreciated for most of the run time.
