Splat

Face Addict (2008)

"I start to think there should be a charity called Amnesia International, which compels forgetfulness in former hangers-out with Andy Warhol."

Nigel Andrews

Splat
2/5

Fame (2009)

"Unconnected shreds of plot suggest severe editing at some stage and neither characters nor musical routines add up to much."

Martin Hoyle

Tomato
3/5

Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009)

"This is a director who knows what he wants; stop-motion offers him an effective stimulus, still allowing the creation of sweetly impractical comic characters while flourishing infinite possibilities for the manipulation of mise-en-scène."

Leo Robson

Splat
1/5

Fast & Furious (2009)

"Run a mile in any direction from Fast and Furious."

Nigel Andrews

Tomato

Fear(s) of the Dark (2008)

"The style is monochrome and minimalist: dots and dashes, sudden shadows and scary silhouettes, like a morse code of the unconscious."

Nigel Andrews

Splat

Feast of Love (2007)

"If Raymond Carver had ever filed a last story collection from the Sunny Valley Lobotomy Clinic, it would be just like this."

Nigel Andrews

Tomato
3/5

Fermat's Room (2008)

"An ingenious Spanish thriller."

Karl French

Splat
2/5

Fifty Dead Men Walking (2009)

"Nothing new is said but everything said is shouted, as if to convince us that yesterday’s headlines are still today’s hot news."

Nigel Andrews

Splat
2/5

Fighting (2009)

"It’s lively, relentlessly cliché-ridden and, for no good reason – this certainly doesn’t contribute to an air of authenticity – presented in a succession of apparently and often uncomfortably semi-improvised scenes."

Karl French

Tomato
3/5

The Final Destination (2009)

"You never saw so much ducking and weaving, or heard such gasps of happy horror, outside a funfair."

Nigel Andrews

Tomato
3/5

Fireflies in the Garden

"Consistently watchable and sometimes rather moving, although it is a rather slighter piece than the film-makers seem to think."

Karl French

Tomato
3/5

The Firm (2009)

"A sleek, if superfluous, remake."

Nigel Andrews

Tomato
4/5

Fish Tank (2009)

"The kind of thriller that Ken Loach might make in collaboration with Michael Haneke, a slice of social-realist cinema in which we are never sure what – if anything – is about happen. It’s oppressively pessimistic but also utterly gripping."

Tomato

Fissures (2007)

"Here is the French countryside at its most sinister: sideways glances from hostile natives, inbred yokels, disappearing children, corrupt politicians . . ."

Martin Hoyle

Tomato

Flame & Citron (2008)

"Ole Christian Madsen directs with crisp conviction, however, and strong crescendi. And a truth-based story always helps."

Nigel Andrews

Splat

Flawless (2007)

"Demi Moore will do as the ghost of Hollywood past, rattling her jewelled accessories like a drag-queen Jacob Marley."

Nigel Andrews

Splat

Four Christmases (2008)

"A laboured romp."

Nigel Andrews

Splat

The Fox and the Child (2008)

"There seems no other reason to tell this rambling, glutinous tale – other than for us to go “ooh, aah” at the scenery, the seasons and the melting-eyed close-ups of Reynard the heart-throb."

Nigel Andrews

Tomato

Franklyn (2009)

"It takes a quarter of the movie’s duration to start detecting its drift, another quarter to start caring. The fantastications have a stronger wallop than the realism."

Nigel Andrews

Splat

Fred Claus (2007)

"An archly mirthless comedy."

Nigel Andrews

Tomato
3/5

French Film (2008)

"The treatment of French cinema is rather facile, and ultimately this is no more substantial than a half-decent television sitcom, or one of the slight, love-themed sketches in Scenes of a Sexual Nature, writer Aschlin Ditta’s previous credit."

Karl French

Splat
2/5

Frequently Asked Questions About Time Travel (2009)

"The film resembles nothing so much as an indifferent and wildly over-stretched episode of space sitcom Red Dwarf."

Karl French

Tomato

Friday the 13th (2009)

"Technically rather better than its predecessors, to whose storyline it refers, but the moral thrust remains the same."

Karl French

Tomato
3/5

From Russia with Love (1963)

"The narrative is plodding, time has not been kind to set-pieces that were once so thrilling and now seem oddly perfunctory, and 007’s misogyny and casual slapping of several women is more than faintly repellent."

Karl French

Tomato

Frost/Nixon (2008)

"Director Ron Howard, less an artist of film like Van Sant, more a resourceful pro, lays his cloak down for the miraculous script and makes sure everyone can walk with dry feet towards the awards ceremonies."

Nigel Andrews

Splat

Frozen River (2008)

"Early scenes have a raddled power. Later ones slip into a Chistmastide slush of contrivance and redemption."

Nigel Andrews

Tomato

Fuck (2006)

"A moderately amusing documentary about the second most offensive word in the English language."

Karl French

Splat
2/5

Fugitive Pieces (2008)

"There are fleeting moments of poignancy and poetry, significantly when the script features narration taken almost directly from the novel, but this is clunkily written and poorly edited."

Karl French

Splat
2/5

Funny People (2009)

"Sandler has gained dramatic weight and variety. But if I want to see him play Hamlet, I’d rather have Shakespeare as the scriptwriter."

Nigel Andrews

Tomato
3/5

Funuke domo, kanashimi no ai wo misero (2007)

"The calm, deadpan chronicling of what, one trusts, is an untypical rural Japanese family suggests a very black comedy. Slightly too long but hypnotically told, beautifully acted and not at all depressing."

Martin Hoyle
