    The New York Times | A.O. Scott

    Is this evidence of cultural decline? It's hard to think of a short answer that wouldn't be made more vivid by the insertion of the forbidden word. So skip it. No, not the movie. What, are you kidding me? No way. Go. Help yourself. Read full review

    Washington Post | Stephen Hunter

    A documentary on the F-word that manages to amuse superficially until it moves into its seventh hour, at which point it grows wearisome. Read full review

    Entertainment Weekly | Lisa Schwarzbaum

    Examination of one of the English language's most useful utterances and why the sound packs such a friggin' wallop. Read full review

    New York Daily News | Jack Mathews

    Filmmaker Steve Anderson stuffs an astonishing 800-plus mentions of the F-word into this 90-minute documentary. When the spectacle ends, the same question lingers: Why? Read full review
