Factory Girl (2007) |
"Whatever substantial qualities it might once have possessed have been wasted, picked over by rumor and gossip, and sullied by the pawing of many hands." |

Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004) |
"Fahrenheit 9/11 is not a documentary for the ages, it is an act of counterpropaganda that has a boorish, bullying force. It is, all in all, a legitimate abuse of power." |
David Edelstein |
Tomato |
The Family Stone (2005) |
"There are cringe-worthy passages and an overly sentimental structure (everyone pairs up so very tidily), but the performances are delightful, and the picture comes together." |
David Edelstein |
Splat |
Fantastic Four (2005) |
"An overinflated B-movie with no grace, no subtext, no wit, and featuring beefcake/cheesecake actors who look like they've been plucked from the soaps." |
David Edelstein |
Splat |
The Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007) |
"An off-brand superhero movie, the cinematic equivalent of one of those generic breakfast cereals with a badly drawn squirrel for a mascot." |
Dana Stevens |
Tomato |
Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009) |
"You don't want to watch this movie, you want to climb inside it and play." |
Dana Stevens |
Tomato |
Far From Heaven (2002) |
"It's so intimate, accessible, and passionate that it makes every other current movie seem anemic. It makes even Sirk seem anemic." |
David Edelstein |
Splat |
The Fast and the Furious (2001) |
"The narrative takes a gutless turn and replaces the central (and exciting) conflict with a whole different set of villains." |
David Edelstein |
Splat |
Fast Food Nation (2006) |
"Even if you swear off burgers forever, it won't make Fast Food Nation's characters come to life." |
Dana Stevens |
Tomato |
The Fast Runner (2002) |
"One of the most enthralling three hours you'll ever spend at the theater." |
David Edelstein |
Tomato |
Femme Fatale (2002) |
"De Palma has provided enough ripe flesh, split-screen mayhem, and dreamlike imagery to power six films noir." |
David Edelstein |
Tomato |
Fever Pitch (2005) |
"Fallon is rather good, too, by the way -- his self-effacement here becomes him." |
David Edelstein |
Tomato |
Finding Nemo (2003) |
"It turns out that Pixar does fish like nobody does fish." |

Firewall (2006) |
"Ford is definitely hacking his way through something in Firewall, but it's not a computer." |
Dana Stevens |

Flags of Our Fathers (2006) |
"It feels disrespectful to say it, but this kind of war movie, like war itself, is starting to feel sickeningly familiar." |
Dana Stevens |
Tomato |
Flightplan (2005) |
"A more than decent thriller." |
David Edelstein |
Tomato |
Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008) |
"Like its hero, Forgetting Sarah Marshall is a little soft around the middle, but all the more loveable for that." |
Dana Stevens |
Splat |
The Fountain (2006) |
"The Fountain is the story of a gifted artist who dared to reach for the stars and paid for his ambition with a really stupid movie." |
Dana Stevens |
Tomato |
Fracture (2007) |
"Somewhere along the way I gave up on following the ostensibly mind-boggling plot and just thrilled to the visible electricity between the two male leads." |

Frost/Nixon (2008) |
"Taking its cues from Rocky rather than All the President's Men, [Peter] Morgan's compact, satisfying drama presents presidential interviewing as a gladiatorial event." |
Dana Stevens |
Splat |
Funny Games (2008) |
"Haneke's been quoted as saying he wants his movies to make people think, but Funny Games is 110 minutes of pure reptile-brain jolts (fear, mostly), with a couple of meta-narrative finger wags thrown in." |
Dana Stevens |

Funny Ha Ha (2005) |
"An indelible film." |

Funny People (2009) |

Fur: An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus (2006) |
"My irritation progressed through contempt, eye-rolling, and, finally, a dull despair illuminated only by the imminent prospect of dinner." |
