Here's something you don't see often: Milla Jovovich not battling zombies, and not wielding some impossibly menacing piece of artillery. In "Faces in the Crowd," we see Jovovich in a rare mode of vulnerability and fragility (in spite of those muscular shoulders) — even giving the impression that she buys aroma candles when life upsets her, and goes out for gluten-free pizza afterwards.
Is this where Jovovich is heading? If so, as a fan I feel like I should be there for her and commend her on this new career move. On the other hand, I want to tear into the screen to hand her a machine gun and a spaghetti-strap tank top so she can go back to being her proper "Resident Evil" Jovovich self. Ah, this fan thing — it's complicated.
But not nearly as complicated as the jargon thrown around in "Faces in the Crowd." Don't be misled by the simplistic title: Many of the lines in this movie sound like they're pulled straight from a medical textbook. If you've never heard the term "prosopagnosia" before, well, you have now.
