>> A.O. Scott, The New York Times "F 9/11": "Mr. Moore's populist instincts have never been sharper ... he is a credit to the republic." "Passion": "Gibson has exploited the popular appetite for terror and gore for what he and his allies see as a higher end." >> Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune "F 9/11": "Received both the first prize and the longest continuous standing ovation in the history of the Cannes Film Festival, and it wasn't because of some cliched French antipathy to America." "Passion": "Lacks artistic and even spiritual balance." >> Ty Burr, Boston Globe "F 9/11": "Should be seen because it takes off the gloves and wades into the fray, because it synthesizes the anti-Bush argument like no other work before it, and because it forces you to decide for yourself exactly where passion starts to warp point of view." "Passion": "If you come seeking theological subtlety, let alone such modern inventions as psychological depth, you'll walk away battered and empty-handed." >> Jami Bernard, NY Daily News "F9/11": I was in tears after first seeing "Fahrenheit" at Cannes. "Passion": The most virulently anti-Semitic movie made since the German propaganda films of World War II. >> Eric Lurio, Greenwich Village Gazette "F9/11": Every Independent voter should see this movie and vote for Kerry "Passion: A snuff film.
