Factory Girl (2007)

"Factory Girl is not, strictly speaking, a bad movie. It's something worse: an irredeemably banal drama about some of the most protean, contradictory creative forces of the 1960s."

Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004)

"Should be seen because it takes off the gloves and wades into the fray, because it synthesizes the anti-Bush argument like no other work before it, and because it forces you to decide for yourself exactly where passion starts to warp point of view."

Faithless (2001)

"A sober, unflinching, sometimes shattering and eventually compassionate exploration of the damage caused by adultery."

Family Hero (2006)

"Intimate and charming, infused with just enough theatricality to declare it a satisfying show."

The Family Man (2000)

"Aimed at the unfussy consumer of Christmas schmaltz."

Fanboys (2009)

"Genial and potty-mouthed and dumb and sweet -- a rudely engaging road comedy with more inside Star Wars baseball than a convention hall full of Imperial Grand Moffs."

Fanfan la Tulipe (2003)

Fantastic Four (2005)

"A bad superhero comedy that takes its time going nowhere."

Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009)

"Other filmmakers turn to children's stories when they have kids of their own. Anderson seems to have made this one for his inner child."

Fascination (2005)

"It's believable that the screenplay was originally a parody, but it was written at a time when erotic thrillers had a certain sleazy seriousness. Say it with me: Wild Orchid."

The Fast and the Furious (2001)

"It jumps off the screen with the mindless panache of a good bad movie."

Fast Food Nation (2006)

"Richard Linklater's Fast Food Nation is major. It's an angry movie that could shame a Big Mac lover into having a salad."

The Fast Runner (2002)

"The film is filled with unquestionable grace and power."

Fat Albert (2004)

"A wildly sanitized product."

Fateless (2006)

"Fateless looks man's inhumanity to man square in the eye and pronounces it standard operating procedure, and that may be the greater horror."

Fay Grim (2007)

"Fay Grim falls victim to its own worried hyperactivity; it shuts you out with chattery paranoia. Hartley wants us to see the big picture, but he forgets we need artists like him to bring it into focus."

Fear(s) of the Dark (2008)

"The black-and-white images are so cutting edge, you could bleed."

The Fearless Freaks (2005)

"Cobbles together an appropriately whacked-out portrait of the band's surreal and haphazard career trajectory."

Feast of Love (2007)

"Feast of Love is [Benton's] easiest movie to like since 1994's Nobody's Fool, and it's immediately homey."

Fellini I'm a Born Liar (2003)

"Pettigrew's movie functions nicely as a posthumous couch trip, with Fellini explaining the soulful puppetry of his art without pulling the curtain up far enough to let you catch him pulling the strings."

Festival Express (2004)

"It's the overnight jam sessions that steal the show."

Fever Pitch (2005)

"Fever Pitch is respectful and heartfelt about the problems that come with extreme fandom and how they might impinge on the happiness of a person who couldn't care less about Carl Yastrzemski."

Fido (2007)

"The movie's breezy, blood-flecked entertainment, with no aim other than to give you a giggle and a shriek."

Fifty Dead Men Walking (2009)

"Fifty Dead Men Walking provides another example of what happens when mediocre moviemaking meets an interesting life."
