Facing Windows (2003) |
"An ensemble of interconnected characters, sufficiently rounded to be sympathetic...[but] a story out of balance.
" |

Factotum (2006) |
"Dillon shambles, dishevels and enunciates, simulating with precise timing and bearing a wholly satisfying portrayal of Charles Bukowski." |
Les Wright |
Tomato |
Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004) |
"Even those agreeing with Moore's political point of view must acknowledge that this is neither illuminating nor revelatory documentation, but skillfully wrought propaganda." |

Faithless (2001) |
"Undeniably an engrossing tale." |
Arthur Lazere |
Splat 5/10 |
The Family Man (2000) |
"It's quite a tightrope act -- they manage to both pander and condescend to Middle America simultaneously." |
Scott Von Doviak |
Splat |
The Family Stone (2005) |
"The romantic realignments, which come later in the film, become transparent almost immediately." |
Les Wright |

Fantasia 2000 (1999) |
"Disney underestimates the intelligence and sophistication of young audiences." |
Arthur Lazere |
Splat |
Far From Heaven (2002) |
"A rather bland exercise in technically skilled, ultra-sophisticated high style whose serious points fade before the flash of the director's ultimately thin conceit" |
Arthur Lazere |
Tomato |
Farinelli: Il Castrato (1994) |
"Farinelli is great fun and sufficiently thoughtful and complex to give food for continuing thought." |
Arthur Lazere |
Tomato |
The Fast and the Furious (2001) |
"Leaves all those computer-rendered mummies, aliens and tomb
raiders in the dust." |

The Fast Runner (2002) |
"a story with more than its share of surprises and unexpected turns

Fat Girl (2001) |
"Ultimately, the events in Fat Girl feel more like they are chosen to justify a skewed feminist polemic rather than developing from an organic story." |
George Wu |

Fateless (2006) |
"A movingly and hauntingly subjective experience" |
Les Wright |
Splat |
Fay Grim (2007) |
"Luckily, there is Hartley's immense wit to carry it through, but wit can be a dangerous gift, especially when the capacity to be clever overwhelms all else." |
Beverly Berning |

Fear and Trembling (2004) |
"A mindboggling view into the heart of Japan" |
Janos Gereben |

Felicia's Journey (1999) |
"Dramatically inert." |

Femme Fatale (2002) |
"Emotionally and intellectually resonant." |

Festival Express (2004) |
"Joplin lets loose a version of 'Cry Baby' that should stand as one of the great performances in any concert film." |

The Fifth Horseman Is Fear (1964) |
"Brynych draws upon German Expressionist film techniques, blending both Hollywood noir and classic horror film styles." |
Les Wright |
Tomato |
Fight Club (1999) |
"Even at its shallowest, the movie is fascinating to watch for its heat and movement." |
Tom Block |
Tomato 9/10 |
The Filth and the Fury (1999) |
"One can pay it no greater compliment than to say that it is worthy of its subject." |
Gary Mairs |

Final (2001) |
"A lifeless vacuum." |

Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within (2001) |
"The filmmakers apparently have assumed that the advance in realistic animation techniques will create character, when all it really creates are images..." |
Arthur Lazere |
Splat |
Finding Forrester (2000) |
"A movie about two writers, but it doesn't seem to have a clue about why writers write or about how writers write." |
Arthur Lazere |
Tomato |
Finding Neverland (2004) |
"Carefully sidestep[s] the pitfall of sticky sentimentality through understated writing, sensitive performances and brilliantly imaginative direction." |
Arthur Lazere |

Firefly - The Complete Series (2002) |
"The defining characteristic of 'Firefly' is that it melds together two seemingly disparate genres: science fiction and the Western" |
Paul De Angelis |

Firewall (2006) |
"Overwritten, crammed full of cliched plot twists, and top-heavy with electronic gadgets and yuppie bling." |

The Fisherman and His Wife (2005) |
"Meanwhile, Dörrie sends up, more with humor than rebuke, the present decade's global-wide obsession with its win-at-all-cost competitive spirit, the blurring of boundaries between profit-making and service providing, the West's infatuation with Japanese d" |

Flanders (2006) |
"Flanders is relentlessly bleak, but as it works its way into your bloodstream, the aftertaste is somewhat akin to relief...For those who allow it, Flanders offers the comfort of recognition, and acceptance, of what it means to be human." |
Beverly Berning |

Flawless (1999) |
"Joel Schumacher has served up a big, steamy Butterball with all the trimmings." |
Scott Von Doviak |
Splat |
Flightplan (2005) |
"Packed with enough crates of red herring to feed a starving city...one of the lamest psychological thrillers to come along in a while" |
Les Wright |

The Flower of Evil (2003) |
"[Not] a hint of suspense or even foreboding. Chabrol might as easily have been telling about a bridge tournament as about betrayal and murder." |
Arthur Lazere |

The Fluffer (2001) |
"The whole package would have played better if the movie had bothered answering some of the questions it delicately raises." |

Flying Scotsman (1990) |
"To cut to the chase, The Flying Scotsman is the skillfully-portrayed, honest story of an interesting, complex and troubled cyclist. For bike racing enthusiasts there is much meat here, but the film may ultimately fail to fully engage and inspire a more g" |

The Flying Scotsman (2007) |

Focus (2001) |
"What saves the film are the performances...A less melodramatic approach to Miller's novel might have proved more effective." |
Arthur Lazere |
Tomato |
The Fog of War (2003) |
"More than a 106-minute interview...'The Fog of War' also works as a civics and history lesson" |
Leslie Katz |

Following (1998) |
"...offers more pleasure as a jigsaw puzzle than it does as a movie.

Following Sean (2006) |
"Underlying subtexts of idealism, utopianism, the power of fate, the interconnectivity of all life emerge...taking Arlyck's original rather small quest into much deeper philosophical territory." |

Forbidden Planet (1956) |
"Forbidden Planet stands as the Technicolor, major studio jewel in the crown of the handful of intelligent, dissenting polemical counterpoints of the decade." |
Les Wright |
Splat |
Forces of Nature (1999) |
"Forces of Nature isn't awful. It is just miscast. If Ben was being lured by someone more tempting, like Melanie Griffith in Wild Thing, say, it would have had more of an edge." |

Four Minutes (2007) |
"A riveting film-going experience, Four Minutes may prove "too German" for many non-German-speaking audiences." |

Foyle's War - Set 4 (2007) |
"Christopher Foyle is the quintessential British sleuth ... courteous and articulate, yet steely and determined when pursuing traitors and criminals who obstruct the war effort." |
