Kevin Crust

Splat
2/5

Face (2004)

"There's something especially frustrating about small, personal independent movies that adhere to the stodgy conventions of small, personal, independent movies as if compelled by a cadre of militant MFA candidates."

Carina Chocano

Tomato

Face Off (1997)

"It's difficult to describe the jolt his films deliver when [Woo]'s on, and he is on with a vengeance here."

Kenneth Turan

Splat
2/5

Facing the Giants (2006)

"Facing the Giants feels like an overly earnest church sketch of the type many evangelical congregations use as a teaching tool on Sunday between the worship music and pastor's message."

William Lobdell

Splat

Factory Girl (2007)

"A brisk, superficial treatment of the tragic supernova life of Edie Sedgwick, Factory Girl disappoints as both biography and drama."

Kevin Crust

Tomato
4/5

Factotum (2006)

"A surprisingly satisfying film, true to Bukowski and itself, a work that manages to make the man and his profane world more palatable without compromising on who he was and what he stood for."

Kenneth Turan

-

The Faculty (1999)

Kevin Thomas

Tomato
3.5/5

Fados (2009)

"Never is his film less than cinematic."

Kevin Thomas

Tomato
4/5

Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004)

"Moore makes a persuasive and unrelenting case that there is another way to look at things beyond the version we've been given."

Kenneth Turan

Splat
2.5/5

Failure to Launch (2006)

"The movie casts around wildly for comic set-pieces, coming up with things like aggressive chipmunks, hostile dolphins and a dad who longs to be naked at all times."

Carina Chocano

Splat
1/5

Fair Game (1995)

"The lamest model-turned-actress movie since Lauren Hutton co-starred with Evel Knievel in the misbegotten Viva Knievel!"

Kenneth Turan

Faithful (1996)

Jack Mathews

Tomato
4.5/5

Faithless (2001)

"An unqualified triumph."

Kevin Thomas

Tomato

Fakers (2004)

"The scenario isn't entirely plausible, but the actors are engaging and you can't beat the running time."

Kevin Crust

Splat
2.5/5

The Fall (2008)

"For a film that wants to present itself as extravagantly dazzling, there is something thuddingly familiar and bland in its vision."

Mark Olsen

Splat
2/5

The Fall (2009)

"With The Fall, writer-director John Krueger buries a promising neo-noir plot with ponderous pacing and uneven performances and dialogue."

Kevin Thomas

Splat
0.5/5

Fall Down Dead (2009)

"A laughable mish-mash of slasher-flick recyclables, dumb characterizations backed by abysmal acting and head-scratching plot mechanics."

Robert Abele

Tomato
3/5

The Fall of Fujimori (2006)

"A confoundingly mercurial figure, Fujimori is a fascinating subject. But in her focus on the man, Perry fails to paint a broader picture of a racially diverse and extremely complex country marked by sharp class and socioeconomic contrasts."

Carina Chocano

Tomato
3/5

Fallen (1998)

"A crafty piece of work, ending with a pair of marvelous twists."

Jack Mathews

Tomato
4/5

Fallen Angels (Hong Kong) (1996)

"An exhilarating rush of a movie, with all manner of go-for-broke visual bravura that expresses perfectly the free spirits of [Wong's] bold young people."

Kevin Thomas

Tomato
4/5

A Family Affair (2003)

"A serious romantic comedy of such strength and substance and so entertaining that it doesn't matter that its minuscule budget shows around the edges."

Kevin Thomas

Splat
2/5

The Family Man (2000)

"Not even a sincere and heroic effort by Nicolas Cage can redeem the film's essential phoniness."

Kevin Thomas

Tomato
3.5/5

The Family Stone (2005)

"Hollywood is always making family comedies, but they are rarely about real families: relations who are as difficult as they are wonderful, people who both love and irritate the heck out of each other. Families like The Family Stone."

Fanboys (2009)

"Harvey Weinstein Explains TWC Delays"

Splat
2/5

Fanboys (2009)

"It's not nearly nerdy enough."

Sam Adams

Tomato
4/5

Fanfan La Tulipe (1952)

"Starring the go-to couple of Gérard Philipe and Gina Lollobrigida, it features duels, chases and low-cut costumes, all in glorious black and white."

Kenneth Turan

-

Fanfan la Tulipe (2003)

Kenneth Turan

Splat
2/5

Fantastic Four (2005)

"More superhero sitcom than comic book adventure, the movie lacks a strong, dramatic through-line."

Kevin Crust

Tomato
3/5

The Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007)

"Earnest, gee-whiz and foursquare, this simple and intentionally inoffensive sequel gets points for being easy to take and scrupulously avoiding obvious sources of irritation."

Kenneth Turan

-

Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009)

"Fur Flies Behind the Scenes of Fantastic Mr. Fox"

Tomato
4/5

Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009)

"It provides a pleasantly cerebral experience, exhilarating and fizzy, that goes to your head like too much Champagne."

Kenneth Turan

-

The Fantasticks (1995)

Kevin Thomas

Splat
2/5

FAQS (2006)

"The campier aspects of the film are not enough to make up for its lapses into melodrama and just plain silliness."

Kevin Crust

Tomato
4.5/5

Far From Heaven (2002)

"The film's three leads are extraordinary, but what Moore does with her role is so beyond the parameters of what we call great acting that it nearly defies categorization."

Manohla Dargis

-

Far From Home: The Adventures of Yellow Dog (1995)

Click here to see the review.

Tomato
4/5

Fargo (1996)

"Chief Gunderson was created by the Coens specifically for Frances McDormand ... and they've been rewarded by a brilliant and unblinking comic performance."

Kenneth Turan

Tomato
4/5

Farinelli: Il Castrato (1994)

"Artistry abounds in every aspect of the film."

Kevin Thomas

Splat
1.5/5

Fascination (2005)

"Thankfully, fades from memory as fast as most January releases."

Kevin Crust

Tomato
3/5

Fast & Furious (2009)

"A strange piece of nostalgia, where, without apology, fast cars still rule and fuel is burned with abandon."

Betsy Sharkey

Tomato
4/5

The Fast and the Furious (2001)

"An action picture that's surprising in the complexity of its key characters and portents of tragedy."

Kevin Thomas

Tomato
3/5

The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006)

"Best viewed as an energetic cartoon, an unintentionally amusing, head-shaking guilty pleasure that will divert those not in the mood for anything more profound than gleaming metal and preening women."

Kenneth Turan

Tomato
4/5

Fast Food Nation (2006)

"Linklater defines his characters by their relationships, hopes, choices and weaknesses -- not, as so many directors do, by their particular socioeconomic circumstances."

Carina Chocano

Tomato
3.5/5

Fast Food, Fast Women (2001)

"An intimate, small-scale movie in the nicest sense and represents a wholly unanticipated advance on the part of Kollek."

Kevin Thomas

Tomato
5/5

The Fast Runner (2002)

"This first feature ever in the Inuit language is a demanding experience. But the rewards for those who risk the journey are simply extraordinary."

Kenneth Turan

-

Fast, Cheap, & Out of Control (1997)

Tomato
3/5

Faster (2004)

"If you consider hurtling along at insane speeds inches from the asphalt to be a tad eccentric, the riders of MotoGP may just fit the bill."

Kevin Crust

Splat
2/5

Fat Albert (2004)

"The movie feels small and flat."

Kevin Crust
