★★★½☆
Every You Every Me is Michael Fetter Nathansky's German romance about a factory worker re-examining her marriage. Inventive, tender and a little too schematic.
Yes, with reservations. Viewers who like romantic dramas with a formal twist will find it moving, though its central device can feel more clever than deep.
★★★★☆
Everything Everywhere All at Once is the Daniels' multiverse action comedy about a laundromat owner and her family. Exhausting at times, but inventive and moving.
Yes, with reservations. It is a wildly inventive, heartfelt ride for viewers who enjoy maximalist comedy, though its relentless pace and length will wear some out.
★★★½☆
Exhuma is Jang Jae-hyun's Korean occult thriller about a shaman, a geomancer and a cursed family grave. A superb first half and a star cast outweigh a messier second.
Yes, with reservations. Fans of occult horror will relish its rituals and cast, though a divisive mid-film shift makes the second half less frightening than the first.
★★★★½
Extraordinary Attorney Woo is a Korean legal dramedy about a brilliant autistic rookie lawyer, blending clever case-of-the-week puzzles with a big, tender heart.
Yes. It is one of the warmest and most rewatchable K-dramas of the decade, perfect for anyone who likes clever legal puzzles, gentle romance and feel-good storytelling.
★★★★☆
Extraordinary You is a clever Korean fantasy romance about a schoolgirl who discovers she is a minor character in a comic, and sets out to rewrite her own story.
Yes. It is an inventive, heartfelt teen fantasy, best for romance fans who enjoy a meta twist, as long as a sagging middle and a repetitive triangle don't deter you.
★★★½☆
Face/Off is John Woo's gloriously absurd 1997 action thriller in which John Travolta and Nicolas Cage swap faces. Operatic, overlong and hugely entertaining.
Yes, with reservations. It is a blast for fans of big 1990s action and gonzo star turns, as long as you can accept preposterous science and a bloated running time.
★★★★☆
Fallout is Prime Video's post-apocalyptic take on the video games: funny, gory and faithful to their retro-futurist spirit, with Walton Goggins stealing the show.
Yes. It is one of the best video game adaptations yet, ideal for sci-fi fans who like dark comedy and gore, even if the plotting grows tangled in the back half.
★★★★½
Familiar Touch is Sarah Friedland's gentle drama about a retired cook moving into memory care, anchored by a superb Kathleen Chalfant. Humane, precise and moving.
Yes. It is a quiet, deeply humane drama about ageing and memory loss, ideal for patient viewers who want honesty rather than melodrama from a film about dementia.
★★★☆☆
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them takes the Wizarding World to 1926 New York. The creature comedy charms; the franchise-building plot drags it down.
It depends. Potter fans will enjoy the magical creatures and the Jazz Age setting, but casual viewers may find the dark subplot and franchise set-up heavy going.
★★☆☆☆
Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald moves the Wizarding World to 1920s Paris and buries its charm under lore. Handsome, crowded and rarely magical.
Mostly no. Only committed Wizarding World completists need it; everyone else will find a congested, joyless sequel that sidelines the creatures and characters that worked.
★★☆☆☆
Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore steadies the series with Mads Mikkelsen's Grindelwald and a lighter tone, but the story still lacks magic or stakes.
Mostly no. It is tidier than its predecessor and Mikkelsen is an upgrade, but only viewers committed to finishing the trilogy will find this long, flat caper worth it.
★★★★½
Farewell My Concubine is Chen Kaige's sweeping Beijing opera epic, a story of two performers whose lifelong bond is tested by half a century of Chinese upheaval.
Yes. It is a landmark of world cinema and one of the great epics about art and politics, best for patient viewers ready for nearly three hours of melodrama.
★★★★☆
Fearless is Ronny Yu's martial arts biopic of Huo Yuanjia, with Jet Li as a champion who must learn humility before he can fight for something bigger than pride.
Yes. It is one of Jet Li's finest martial arts films, ideal for kung fu fans who can accept a blunt patriotic streak and a slower middle stretch.
★★★★½
Fight Club is David Fincher's savage, darkly funny satire of consumer life and male rage, and more than two decades on it remains as sharp as it is misunderstood.
Yes. It is one of the defining American films of its era, best for adults who enjoy dark satire and can watch its violent swagger with a critical eye.
★★★★☆
Fight for My Way is a scrappy Korean romantic comedy about two childhood friends near thirty who chase abandoned dreams, and discover their friendship means more.
Yes. It is a funny, grounded friends-to-lovers K-drama, ideal for fans of Park Seo-joon and underdog stories, even if later episodes lean on familiar melodrama.
★★★½☆
Firaaq is Nandita Das's ensemble drama set a month after the 2002 Gujarat violence, tracing how ordinary people live with fear, guilt and silence over one day.
Yes, with reservations. It is a humane, courageous ensemble drama for viewers ready for difficult subject matter, even if some of its stories feel schematic.
★★★½☆
Fist of Fury is the 1972 Hong Kong kung fu classic in which Bruce Lee avenges his teacher in foreign-dominated Shanghai, a crude but electrifying showcase of star power.
Yes, with reservations. Bruce Lee's fights and fury make it essential for martial arts fans, though the plotting and villains feel dated.
★★★½☆
The Five Venoms is Chang Cheh's 1978 Shaw Brothers cult favourite, a kung fu mystery built around five masked fighters, five animal styles and one question: who is who?
Yes, with reservations. It is a playful, inventive Shaw Brothers classic for kung fu fans, provided you can sit through a talky middle and some very broad acting.
★★★½☆
Flash Point is Wilson Yip's lean Hong Kong cop thriller starring Donnie Yen, a thin story redeemed by one of the most ferocious fight finales of its decade.
Yes, with reservations. Action fans should see it for Donnie Yen's brutal, MMA-flavoured fights, as long as they can tolerate a generic crime plot.
★★★★★
Fleabag is Phoebe Waller-Bridge's filthy, heartbreaking British tragicomedy about a grieving woman who confides in the audience, and its second season is near perfect.
Yes, without hesitation. It is one of the best comedies ever made for television, essential for adults who like humour sharp, honest and a little painful.
★★★★☆
Flow is Gints Zilbalodis's wordless Latvian animated fable about a cat surviving a great flood, and its Oscar-winning images carry more feeling than most scripts.
Yes. It is one of the most beautiful animated films of the decade, ideal for families and adults alike, provided you are happy with a story told entirely without words.
★★★★½
Flower of Evil is a gripping Korean thriller about a husband hiding a dark past from his detective wife, anchored by Lee Joon-gi and Moon Chae-won at their best.
Yes. It is one of the most gripping K-drama thrillers of its era, ideal for fans of dark crime stories with a romantic core who can accept a few late-series stretches.
★★★★★
Forrest Gump is Robert Zemeckis's sweeping tragicomic odyssey through postwar America, anchored by Tom Hanks as a gentle Alabama man who never stops loving Jenny.
Yes. It is a landmark of American popular cinema, funny, heartbreaking and endlessly rewatchable, perfect for anyone who can embrace unapologetic sentiment.
★★★☆☆
Free Fire is Ben Wheatley's 1970s warehouse shootout comedy, a single gunfight stretched to feature length with a sharp cast, great banter and diminishing returns.
It depends. Fans of pitch-black comedy and ensemble banter will have fun, but viewers who need story or stakes may tire of one long gunfight.
