Review of Fast Food Nation (2006)

By Robert W. Butler (884) for Kansas City Star (1,573) on 17 Nov 2006

Richard Linklater's latest is a humorless, glum multicharacter melodrama that plays like John Sayles Lite…

By Scott Foundas (913) for L.A. Weekly (3,142) on 17 Nov 2006

Like two of the year's other standout American films, Kelly Reichardt's Old Joy and Ryan Fleck's Half Nelson, it's a movie of ideas in which…

Review of Fast Food Nation (2006)

By Rene Rodriguez (1,781) for Miami Herald (3,319) on 17 Nov 2006

Review of Fast Food Nation (2006)

By Wesley Morris (1,967) for Boston Globe (6,852) on 17 Nov 2006

Fast Food Nation has the dramatic flatness and willful lack of personality of some documentaries -- or at least how Linklater thinks a documentary…

Review of Fast Food Nation (2006)

By Ken Fox (1,094) for TV Guide (1,527) on 17 Nov 2006

Presenting facts in a wrapper of fiction only muddies the waters, and many of the film's subtler points are likely to slip by viewers who haven't…

By John Beifuss (1,947) for Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) (1,944) on 17 Nov 2006

Review of Fast Food Nation (2006)

By Brian Orndorf (4,059) for eFilmCritic.com (5,125) on 16 Nov 2006

All Linklater can do is play to the rafters, and for a film that's intended to wean audiences off fast food, you might find yourself purchasing…

Review of Fast Food Nation (2006)

By Jeffrey M. Anderson (3,573) for Combustible Celluloid (2,644) on 16 Nov 2006
