[An] angry and persuasive piece of agitprop...

| Jan 23, 2019

There are so many characters the film can't keep track of them and none of these supposedly interconnecting stories gel.

Linklater is preaching to the converted.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 3, 2012

It's about empty calories and empty life - ridiculous insistences that all kids see playing time regardless of on-field performance, the absurdity of porn as background noise, that revolution can start in rec rooms and the woozy lure of neon strip malls.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Sep 24, 2010

Distills a non-fiction book about the influence of fast food on the global cultural landscape into a narrative film that touches on the many of the points and populaces of the book.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Jun 9, 2010

'Fast Food Nation' might have translated into a compelling documentary. Instead, Schlosser's research is used as a springboard into a sluggish fictional narrative that merely hints at the grim reality.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Dec 1, 2009

Alt-weekly defeatism

Avril Lavigne even pops up to rail against deforestation. Who knew she could pronounce it?

This was never intended to be a conventional movie, but more like a personal industrial film illustrating the process that brings the corpse of a cow to your dinner table.

Fills us with too much stuffing to digest in one sitting.

| Original Score: A- | Oct 9, 2007

The large cast is uniformly excellent and the film has been designed to stir the pot ... Unfortunately, audiences don't seem to be responding. Global warming is the hot button issue but our food supply and its contamination is just as important.

| Original Score: B- | Jul 14, 2007

Though it may well make you vow never to eat a burger again, the film never really holds itself together.

Certainly food for thought then, just a shame the characters aren't as fully-fleshed.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5 | May 4, 2007

The stories lack shape, and the procession of famous faces detracts from the low-key, realist tone.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 4, 2007

This is a must.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | May 4, 2007

It's a bit of a McMovie.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 4, 2007

Intelligent and radical, this meaty exposé of corporate greed offers plenty to chew on.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 4, 2007
