Factory Girl (2007)

"Hickenlooper likes to observe chaos and artistic extremes with a friendly eye, and there are hints all through Factory Girl of the shattering film it could have been. But the story falls too easily into 'live fast, die young' laments and postures."

Fade (2008)

"Arthur provides some overly mannered narration via a journal he's been keeping, but that also offers few clues to how much of what we're seeing is real or imagined."

Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004)

"Moore's ability to kick off a debate -- even a vicious one -- remains priceless, as do his gifts for ridicule, for wringing laughs, shock and tears from his subjects and for shedding a spotlight on ordinary Americans."

Faithless (2001)

"A heartbreaking, life-enhancing experience, one of the screen's finest portrayals of infidelity and its consequences."

The Fallen (2005)

"War is hell, it maintains -- and though we've heard that before, Taub and his crack international company make us feel it."

A Family Affair (2003)

"Without the ready-made drama of coming out and identity struggle, gay romance can feel as flimsy and forced as its straight counterpart."

The Family Man (2000)

"Highly compensated Hollywood types who make calculatedly commercial movies are the last folks who should be telling us we're unworthy, unfulfilled people if we don't sacrifice everything to raise a family."

Fanboys (2009)

"Much as Robert Zemeckis toyed with Beatlemania in I Wanna Hold Your Hand a generation ago, the wobbly new comedy Fanboys, set in 1998, salutes Yoda worship and the fine line between ardor and breaking and entering."

Fantastic Four (2005)

"It certainly looks stunning, and there's even a try at injecting some human drama and strong emotion into the action stew."

Far From Heaven (2002)

"Moore is absolutely brilliant in this film."

Farewell, Home Sweet Home (1999)

The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006)

"For all its crashes and flash, this is a movie that drifts away as we watch it. Muscle cars and all, it's often a waste of gas."

Fast Food, Fast Women (2001)

"The filmmaker's enthusiasm for addressing diverse people's needs for both companionship and sexual gratification is admirable, but movies aren't just about notions."

Faster (2004)

Fat Girl (2001)

"Few movies have so effectively conveyed the alienation of adolescence, and the way children can be driven almost mad by their separation from life and love."

The Favor (2008)

"The Favor measures the costs of crushing disappointment and the strength of love, and though those themes are the stuff of soap opera, writer/director Eva Aridjis recruited just the right cast to keep the suds at bay."

Fear and Trembling (2004)

"One of the screen's most cuttingly funny looks at office life."

Fear(s) of the Dark (2008)

Fearless (2006)

"Jet Li's Fearless is one of those corny, lusciously mounted, almost predictably thrill-packed action movies you can't help but like."

Feast of Love (2007)

"This feast is more like an artfully arranged appetizer plate."

Femme Fatale (2002)

"A feast for hard-core movie or De Palma buffs (and Romijn-Stamos junkies) but a famine for anyone looking for a good story."

Festival in Cannes (2002)

"In the end, we don't see enough of Cannes and maybe too much of Kaz. But you have to accept or reject Jaglom as you might a walk on the Croisette, taking the bitter with the sweet."

Fierce People (2007)

"The idea that rich people are an alien tribe is just one of many that get lost in Wittenborn’s distracted script."

Fight Club (1999)

"A bloody, hilarious ride into the twisted recesses of the modern male psyche."

Filth and Wisdom (2008)

"Madonna shoots it all like a home movie made by someone who has been on the other side of the camera so often, doing music videos, reality no longer feels remotely real."
