“Faith is presented as one of those women who "takes to" childbearing naturally, a haus-frau by vocation. What then--now that the children are at school--does she do all day? Keaton, schlepping around, in radiant harmony with herself, goes a long way toward making Faith believable, but I question whether there is any woman in this day and age who hasn't had to defend her life choice, if only to herself, against opposing claims. I think Faith is a chimera, a fantasy of strength and invulnerability on the part of a frightened (or self-exonerating?) male.” Molly Haskell Playgirl, May 1982 [LO little]
