Fame (2009) |
"This remake of Alan Parker's 1980 musical follows a rainbow coalition of sketchily characterised teenagers." |

Fanny and Alexander (1982) |
"During its three hours, seasons come and go, friends and relatives gather for funerals, weddings and christenings, and all human life is here." |

Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009) |
"When the film escalates into hectic action, it draws on Hollywood genres, westerns in the Sergio Leone mode and crime movies." |

Fermat's Room (2008) |
"This is an ingenious, relentlessly exciting film, a moral fable at once visceral and cerebral." |

Fighting (2009) |
"While everything is highly predictable, the film is well designed and bone-crushingly violent fights are ably staged in Brooklyn." |

The Final Destination (2009) |
"The fourth film in this occult-horror franchise differs from its predecessors in being shot in superb 3D, which is employed to gory effect." |

Fireflies in the Garden |
"They stagger down memory lane for a little bloodletting, inspect skeletons in the cupboard and invariably end up bathing together in a hot tub of sentimental forgiveness and understanding." |

The First Day of the Rest of Your Life |
"A funny, deeply affecting and often painfully truthful movie about families, parenthood, growing up, growing old and dying, devoid of sentimentality." |
Philip French |
Tomato |
Fish Tank (2009) |
"Fish Tank is a forceful, deeply depressing movie, less enjoyable than Arnold's Red Road, but not quite as pessimistic." |
Philip French |
Tomato |
Flags of Our Fathers (2006) |
"Flags of Our Fathers is touched by greatness. It argues that soldiers may go into battle for country and glory but they always end up fighting for the survival of themselves and their comrades." |

Flanders (2006) |
"Dumont effectively conjures between the dreary routine of everyday life and the normalised horrors of this nameless conflict." |

Floating Weeds (1959) |
"This is a vibrant movie, one of his few in colour, and touches on universal themes through the story of a middle-aged actor and his young mistress coming with a second-rate kabuki company to a small coastal town." |

The Fountain (2006) |
"The key line, spoken by a Mayan priest, is 'Death is the road to awe', and this movie truly puts the 'awe' into awful." |

Tomato |
Franklyn (2009) |
"Franklyn is puzzling in a way some may think tiresome and others intriguing. Gerald McMorrow, whose first feature this is, has talent, but just as he starts tying up the loose ends, the film unravels." |
Philip French |
Tomato |
Freaks (1932) |
"To the horror movie, a genre he helped create, he brought a taste for Victorian melodrama and an understanding, which he must have gained in the circus, for the isolated lives of weird and deformed outsiders." |

French Film (2008) |

Frequently Asked Questions About Time Travel (2009) |
"Through no particular fault of the performers, it is pointless, perfunctory and painfully unfunny." |

Friday the 13th (2009) |
"The film, an endless succession of strippings, slashings and skewerings, looks as if the production team had learnt their art doing work experience under the influence of drugs at an abattoir next door to a nudist camp." |
