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." |

Fados (2009) |
"Never is his film less than cinematic." |

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!" |

Faithless (2001) |
"An unqualified triumph." |

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) |
"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." |

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." |

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." |

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." |

Fascination (2005) |
"Thankfully, fades from memory as fast as most January releases." |

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." |

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." |
