May 22, 2011Funny and controversial documentary, that investigate taboos in society about the word FUCK. Just like The Aristocrats, F*uck, is a entertaining film. Problem: the absence of answers and research. In this way, the documentary don't looks what really is the point, what the reason ... read more

January 8, 2010What a great documentary. It examines the unusual etymology of the Eff word, as well as its cultural uses and the responses and reactions to it. It delves a little into themes around censorship, free speech and vulgarity, and I found it a really interesting semiological study. If... read more

July 27, 2009No budget documentary filled with talking heads which skates around the issues about profanity in society but fails to crystallize the central idea that the liberals need the moral defenders for their swearing to have its power. It was curious that for many the f-word had become ... read more

June 18, 2009Umm, you expect so much more from this movie than it delivers. First of all, it shies away from saying the word "f-ck" as much as it can, which sort of negates the point it tries to make.

May 4, 2008Fun flick that looks at the history and usage of one of the most scandalous yet overused words in our vernacular. Stays objective, though interviews folks from various sides of the morality argument. Worth it, in my opinion, just for Billy Connolly's contributions.

April 30, 2007A good movie, but less than comprehensive. Sure, Lenny Bruce and George Carlin were represented, but no Richard Pryor? And how do you make a documentary on the word FUCK without even mentioning Pulitzer Prize winner David Mamet? Am I wrong?

But in the end, F*CK is at most a compendium of opinions and examples, and never feels like a story. Full Review

If anything, the most vivid impression created by the movie is how much fun the word's use can potentially be and how its power is inevitably emboldened in direct proportion to the forces of decency l... Full Review

... It's a mere 90-some minutes long; it only feels like seven hours. Full Review

Far smarter fun with filth, though, can be found in The Aristocrats. Full Review

On the whole Anderson's film feels a decade or two behind the culture's cutting edge. Full Review

If you're wondering how Steve Anderson managed to make a 93-minute documentary about the ultimate four-letter word, which uses the epithet over 800 times, you're underestimating his capacity to entert... Full Review

The film works best when widening its focus to include the Federal Communications Commission's often baffling and hypocritical stances regarding what's OK to say, or show, on TV and radio, and what is... Full Review
