Tomato 3.5/4 |
F/X (1986) |
"The irony of F/X, which is a very good thriller indeed, is that it avoids the pitfall of so many thrillers; it doesn't degenerate into a mindless display of special effects." |

Tomato 3/4 |
Face Off (1997) |
"You see what thickets this plot constructs; it's as if Travolta adds the spin courtesy of Cage's personality, while Cage mellows in the direction of Travolta." |
Roger Ebert |
Tomato 3/4 |
Face to Face (1976) |
"Bergman has put in the Freudian asides and fireworks for his own reasons but great director that he is, he hasn't in the process stood between Liv Ullmann and the camera." |
Roger Ebert |
Tomato 4/4 |
Faces (1968) |
"Faces is the sort of film that makes you want to grab people by the neck and drag them into the theater and shout: 'Here!'" |
Roger Ebert |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Factory Girl (2007) |
"Despite strong performances by Sienna Miller as the quintessential '60s It Girl and Guy Pearce as FrankenArtist Andy, the film ultimately doesn't have much to say about the people it purports to depict or the tumultuous times in which they lived." |

Tomato 3.5/4 |
Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004) |
"The film doesn't go for satirical humor the way Moore's Roger & Me and Bowling for Columbine did. Moore's narration is still often sarcastic, but frequently he lets his footage speak for itself." |
Roger Ebert |
Splat 1/4 |
Failure to Launch (2006) |
"Oh, what stupid people these are." |
Roger Ebert |
Splat 2/4 |
Fair Game (1995) |
"Works as a thriller for anyone who lives entirely in the present. Those with longer memories will find the film grows increasingly funny as it rolls along." |

The Fall (2008) |
"Tarsem's The Fall is a mad folly, an extravagant visual orgy, a free-fall from reality into uncharted realms. Surely it is one of the wildest indulgences a director has ever granted himself." |
Roger Ebert |
Tomato 4/4 |
The Fall of the House of Usher (1928) |
"The Fall of the House of Usher resides within its sealed world, as if -- yes, as if buried alive." |
Roger Ebert |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Fallen (1998) |
"The idea is better than the execution." |
Roger Ebert |
Tomato 3/4 |
Fallen Angels (Hong Kong) (1996) |
"I felt transported back to the 1960s films of Jean-Luc Godard. I was watching a film that was not afraid of its audience." |

Fame (2009) |
"The new Fame is a sad reflection of the new Hollywood, where material is sanitized and dumbed down for a hypothetical teen market that is way too sophisticated for it. It plays like a dinner theater version of the original." |

The Family Man (2000) |
"The movie is sweet, light entertainment, but could have been more." |
Roger Ebert |
Tomato 3/4 |
Family Plot (1976) |
"Hitchcock has a deviously complicated tale to tell, and he's going to tell it with labyrinthine detail, and he's not going to cheat." |
Roger Ebert |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Family Stone (2005) |
"The Family Stone sorts out its characters admirably, depends on typecasting to help establish its characters more quickly, and finds a winding path between happy and sad secrets." |

Fanboys (2009) |
"Fanboys is an amiable but disjointed movie that identifies too closely with its heroes. Poking a little more fun at them would have been a great idea." |
Roger Ebert |
Tomato 4/4 |
Fanny and Alexander (1982) |
"[Bergman] glides beyond the mere telling of his story into a kind of hypnotic series of events that have the clarity and fascination of dreams. Rarely have I felt so strongly during a movie that my mind had been shifted into a different kind of reality." |
Roger Ebert |
Tomato 4/4 |
Fantasia (1940) |
"Throughout Fantasia, Disney pushes the edges of the envelope." |

Fantasia 2000 (1999) |
"Splendid entertainment." |
Roger Ebert |
Splat 1/4 |
Fantastic Four (2005) |
"The really good superhero movies, like Superman, SpiderMan 2 and Batman Begins, leave Fantastic Four so far behind that the movie should almost be ashamed to show itself in the same theaters." |
Roger Ebert |
Splat 2.5/4 |
The Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007) |
"At times silly and then serious, this Fantastic Four is the cinematic equivalent of multiple personality disorder." |
Misha Davenport |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009) |
"Children, especially, will find things they don't understand, and things that scare them. Excellent. A good story for children should suggest a hidden dimension, and that dimension of course is the lifetime still ahead of them." |

Far From Heaven (2002) |
"Because the film deliberately lacks irony, it has a genuine dramatic impact; it plays like a powerful 1957 drama we've somehow never seen before." |

Fargo (1996) |
"To watch it is to experience steadily mounting delight, as you realize the filmmakers have taken enormous risks, gotten away with them and made a movie that is completely original, and as familiar as an old shoe." |
Roger Ebert |
Splat 2/4 |
Farinelli: Il Castrato (1994) |
"Farinelli, one of the 1995 Oscar nominees in the foreign film category, is onto an interesting story, all right, but it leaves us feeling, like some of Farinelli's lovers, that something is missing." |
Roger Ebert |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Fast & Furious (2009) |
"Fast & Furious is exactly and precisely what you'd expect. Nothing more, unfortunately." |
Roger Ebert |

The Fast and the Furious (2001) |
"It delivers what it promises to deliver, and knows that a chase scene is supposed to be about something more than special effects." |
Roger Ebert |

The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006) |
"It delivers all the races and crashes you could possibly desire, and a little more." |
