Face (2004) |
"Ling, delicate and haunted, and Wu, a real spitfire, make their reconciliation sting as much as it soothes." |

Factory Girl (2007) |
"Sienna Miller, with her glossed and dimpled party-girl smile, looks so much like the actual Edie Sedgwick that you may think, at moments, that you're seeing the real thing. That spooky look-alike allure does a lot for the movie." |

Fame (2009) |
"NYC high school students sing, dance, emote in acting classes, and otherwise insist that America's got talent, but this unnecessarily tepid, conservative remake of 1980's far more famous and affecting original Fame suggests otherwise." |

Family Law (2006) |
"Family Law is well acted, but if Antoine Doinel had been nearly this serene, Truffaut's career would have petered out after three films." |

The Family Man (2000) |
"The outsize ticky tackiness of Jack's new life has been stitched together out of the broadest possible series of middle American clichés." |

The Family Stone (2005) |
"What's striking and, to my bloodshot eye, welcome about this year's edition, The Family Stone, is the rather chic urbanity with which writer-director Thomas Bezucha serves up the old genre standby." |

Fanboys (2009) |

Fantastic Four (2005) |
"This clumsy, cheesy, chintzy adaptation, with its F/X that look dated the moment you see them, is like something left over from the '60s, the heyday of Marvel's longest-running series." |

The Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007) |
"If you swept the cosmic dust of the superhero boom into a flimsy dustpan, you'd have the Fantastic Four franchise." |

Fast & Furious (2009) |
"In the jammed landscape of mass-market new releases, it offers an attractive getaway route from self-importance, snark, and chatty comedies about male bonding. Here, stick shifts do the talking." |

The Fast and the Furious (2001) |
"To appear more convincing, the actors were sent to an unconventional driving school, where they practiced skidding out and making high speed turns in the parking lot of Dodger Stadium." |

Fast Food, Fast Women (2001) |
"Kollek is a fringe auteur who makes independent films the old fashioned way: no budget, static camera, a script that telegraphs its tiny, paste gem ironies." |

The Fast Runner (2002) |

Fay Grim (2007) |
"The faux espionage plot, with its winks at terrorism, is really just a convoluted plea for the relevance of precious indie artistes (i.e., Hal Hartley)." |

Fear Dot Com (2002) |
"What could have been a pointed little chiller about the frightening seductiveness of new technology loses faith in its own viability and succumbs to joyless special-effects excess." |

Fear(s) of the Dark (2008) |
"Six graphic artists contribute tales of gloom, but only one -- about a boy and his insect-infested girlfriend, drawn by distinctive American artist Charles Burns (Black Hole) -- gets under your skin." |

Fearless (2006) |
"Every so often there is a hand-to-hand fight scene to cut the boredom -- the best is set atop a precipitously high wooden tower in a village square -- but even these don't set themselves apart from anything we've seen before." |
Gregory Kirschling |

Feast (2006) |
