Fanboys (2009)
"At times the structure labours, but ultimately Fanboys rises above routine Hollywood fare because it never makes fun of the people it represents."
Trent Griffiths
Fast & Furious (2009)
"Diesel's bassoon-voiced, low-watt charisma seems best placed in this franchise, and there is an undeniable spark with his foil Walker, who's all white teeth and Californian tan."
Julian Shaw
Fighting (2009)
"Despite the formulaic script and cringe worthy moments, the performances from the leads and creation of the subculture are well executed by director Montiel."
Hernán Alcerreca
The Film with Me In It (2010)
"The epilogue leaves you feeling hollow and empty, but as a less-than-satisfying film concludes, you may also realise that this is entirely the point."
Dom Romeo
Splat
The Final Destination (2009)
"A tired imitation of the first film in the series, the 3-D offers little to improve this vacuous and unnecessary sequel."
Anthony O'Connor
Fired Up (2009)
"The screenplay is patchy and inconsistent, and provides few chuckles."
Andrew J. McGlinn
The Flight of the Red Balloon (2008)
"It’s all humdrum and low key without any redeeming compositional elegance or symmetry."
Mark Demetrius
Four Christmases (2008)
"Filled with 'hilarious' scenes of people being vomited on and falling off roofs, Four Holidays tries to meld nasty, black-hued comedy with warm sentiment, resulting in a sick melange of treacle and malice."
Erin Free
The Fox and the Child (2008)
"A strange mix of doco/fairy tale, this film does have beautiful cinematography but is let down by inconsistencies in tone."
Amy Wheeler
Fragments (2009)
"Considering the talent involved in Winged Creatures, it's a pity that the movie never manages to fly above your average Hallmark drama."
Friday the 13th (2009)
"It's almost pantomime in its "He's behind you!" stupidity, but for all its goofiness, there's still an all-encompassing enjoyment in watching a bunch of reckless, hedonistic morons being axed to death."
Jarrod Walker
Frost/Nixon (2008)
"It's a deceptively juicy film that runs straight for the audience while reaching for the jugular."
Colin Fraser
Frozen River (2008)
"While the resolution might seem a little neat for the film's naturalistic style, this is still independent filmmaking of the highest order."
Fugitive Pieces (2008)
"Slow moving, torpid and melancholy...it's tearjerker material, but without the tears."
Funny Games (2008)
"As an experiment in film form, Funny Games is intriguing, but the self-congratulation and post-modern trickery are at once irksome and intellectually and artistically dishonest."
Peter Galvin
Funny People (2009)
"Comedy king Judd Apatow delivers another hit with this hilarious personal story that also deals with the big issues in a touching way."
