Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004) |
"Provocative, hilarious, distressing and thought provoking, the film is skilful in presenting its image of the world in crisis. Its failing is its impartiality..." |

Failure to Launch (2006) |
"A smartly funny variation on the theme of How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days (but targeted at a more discerning audience), the film is witty, funny and the cast hand-picked." |

Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009) |
"Imagined with large doses of wit and brio, Roald Dahl's children's story is a larger than life fantasy for all ages, brilliantly adapted to the screen and showcasing voice talents led by George Clooney as the likeably roguish Mr. Fox." |
