Factory Girl (2007)
"Even after watching her rise and fall for 90 minutes, we still don't know her at all."

The Fall (2008)
"Each and every of Tarsem's visuals scratch onerously at the mind, heart, and cornea."
Keith Uhlich

Fanboys (2009)
"For those who get a gag like 'Looking for love in Alderaan places?' you don't have to worry if the movie is on your level or not."

Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009)
""Fantastic Mr. Fox [is] Wes Anderson's most enjoyable film since Rushmore.""
Splat C+
Fast & Furious (2009)
"Fast & Furious is a piece of junk, but at least it is an entertaining and endearing piece of junk. For a franchise I actively dislike, this is the best of the bunch."
Fast Food Nation (2006)
"It's the performances and Linklater's devotion to them and not just the nation that make this a meal worth eating."
-
"Richard Linklater, Fast Food Nation Interview"
Fear(s) of the Dark (2008)
"Casts a decidedly uneven spell."
Filth and Wisdom (2008)
"Leave it to the Material Girl to confound all knife-sharpened expectations, even in mediocrity."
Firewall (2006)
"A solid ensemble almost saves Firewall, but, in the end, it goes up in campy flames."
First Blood (1982)
"The entryway to the disturbed psychological headspace of a single man, one bent evermore on survival, instinct trumping all."
Flags of Our Fathers (2006)
"A quest to find the humanity behind the imagery of Iwo Jima that never gets beneath the skin to the real men who became heroes with a single camera shot."
Splat 5/10
Flash of Genius (2008)
"If you spend the entire movie making sure I'm aware that someone is socially awkward, he shouldn't turn into Henry Drumond from Inherit t the Wind during the closing argument."
Jenna Busch
Flushed Away (2006)
"A witty combination of jokes for both adults and kids."
Flyboys (2006)
"Flyboys doesn't just use cliches - it wallows in them, feeling more like a film based on old war movies than actual history."
The Fountain (2006)
"Darren Aronofsky, The Fountain Interview"
Splat 3/10
Four Christmases (2008)
"Must everyone make a Christmas film every year? Must it be the same story over and over again? This is why we have the Hallmark Channel. Listen, if your film is not Elf or Bad Santa, I've seen it."

The Fourth Kind (2009)
"The Fourth Kind may have more unmotivated booms in its mix than any film I've ever seen."
Fracture (2007)
"There will be few better examples all year of how much a script can be elevated by the actors involved."
