Face Addict (2008) |
"Another week, another snippet of Warhol cine-marginalia." |

Factory Girl (2007) |
"Edie Sedgwick's story is sad, but never appears important or interesting." |
Peter Bradshaw |
Splat 2/5 |
Fade to Black (2006) |
"On paper this must have looked a neat idea: a wildly fictionalised account of a skid-row Orson Welles, up to his neck in political skulduggery while shooting a third-rate picture in post-war Italy." |

Failure to Launch (2006) |
"Once again, Matthew McConaughey creates an aura, a force-field of unfunniness. A man-sized block of Unfunny Kryptonite from the Planet Unfunny, killing off all the funny within a 1,000-yard radius." |
Peter Bradshaw |
Splat 2/5 |
Faintheart (2008) |
"Faintheart, which bills itself as the world's first user-generated movie, is a middling sitcom that could have crawled fully formed from the head of a jaded TV executive." |
Xan Brooks |
Splat 2/5 |
The Fall (2008) |
"Does The Fall amount to anything more than a vast sugar-frosted folly? I'm not convinced it does, although its wanton extravagance is not without charm. Singh has money to burn and he builds a pretty bonfire." |
Xan Brooks |
Splat 1/5 |
Fame (2009) |
"The awful truth about no one from the Fame movie or TV show going on to become famous may not yet have dawned on the cast of this new and bizarrely pointless remake." |

Fanny and Alexander (1982) |
"Dickensian in its extravagant emotional power - with a hint of Charlotte Brontė - and some Chekhov in its melancholy." |
Peter Bradshaw |
Tomato 3/5 |
The Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007) |
" It's all very silly and the Four's life together has all the gravitas of an episode of the Monkees. Entertaining, though." |
Peter Bradshaw |
Tomato 4/5 |
Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009) |
"Anderson's mannerisms have been irritating in the past, but pitching a film at children has restored his sweet-natured charm. This is hip but with heart." |

Far From Heaven (2002) |

Fateless (2006) |
"Is the survivor entitled to ordinary human happiness -- or is this human emotion an act of disloyalty and diminution? These questions are a vital part of this outstanding film's dark and sombre power." |

Fear Dot Com (2002) |
"William Malone's fear dot com desperately wants to be a cutting-edge chiller with its 'up-to-the-minute' internet theme, but turns out to be a depressing up-chuck of every great horror movie of the last 20 years." |
Mark Kermode |

Fear Dot Com (2002) |

Fear(s) of the Dark (2008) |
"Richard McGuire's contribution is a small gothic masterpiece in which a guttering candle picks out half-glimpsed horrors inside an old dark house." |

Fermat's Room (2008) |
"It's all done with style, with very little of the strain you might expect from filming in such a restricted environment." |
Andrew Pulver |
Tomato 3/5 |
A Few Days in September (2006) |
"Here is a film as rum and tangential as the theories themselves, a pleasingly off-kilter noir that casts Juliette Binoche as a cigarillo-smoking spymistress who lights out for Venice in the first days of September 2001." |
Peter Bradshaw |
Tomato 3/5 |
Fighting (2009) |
"You couldn't call Fighting great - at its core it is simply too cruddy - but Montiel has managed to inject it with the smell and feel of the streets that he clearly once knew well." |

Fine, Totally Fine (2008) |
"The sweetness and good nature of this film won me over, after a slowish start. The leftfield vignettes and eccentric dialogue make for a taste that didn't take me long to acquire - and Arakawa in particular is a winning performer, in his goofy way." |
Peter Bradshaw |
Splat 2/5 |
Fired Up (2009) |
"Five, six, seven, eight; Fired Up is not so great." |

Fireflies in the Garden |
"A sickly sweet family drama stuffed with exceptionally high-profile performers - so much so that they threaten to overwhelm it just by their presence." |
Andrew Pulver |

Firehouse Dog (2007) |
"I myself growled and whimpered like an abused canine after a couple of hours of this sub-Lassie silliness, though the film threw me the occasional choc-drop in the form of a gag." |

The Firm (2009) |
"Love's films have, in the past, brought me out in a rash - but this one is watchable. It's well made; there's a persistent and welcome undercurrent of humour in the script that reminded me of Love's sparky debut, Goodbye Charlie Bright," |
Peter Bradshaw |

First Sunday (2008) |
"With his movie debut, Talbert plays to his established audience, the redemption message riding roughshod over everything, even such trifling concerns as character consistency and continuity." |
