	"Full Frontal" - Salon.com
		Steven Soderbergh's baffling comedy "Full Frontal" isn't badly edited: In fact, its editor, Sarah Flack, is the same person who cut together Soderbergh's 1999 "The Limey," one of the most beautifully prismatic movies of the last 50 years.
		Soderbergh shot "Full Frontal" himself, using a combination of digital video and film, and you'll certainly be able to tell which is which.
		Keener is the biggest ball of energy in "Full Frontal," but you never quite get a grip on her character, and you never feel as much for her as you should.

	Full Frontal (2002)
		Full Frontal is an experimental project from director Steven Soderbergh, the man behind some of my all-time favorite films - Out of Sight, The Limey, Traffic, and Ocean’s Eleven - and in his latest project, he’s assembled another group of fine talent — and told them to check their movie star attitudes at the door.
		Full Frontal is an interesting film and it plays as two films wrapped up in to one.
		The commentary for Full Frontal is no different and while the track isn’t as engaging as some of the other commentaries I’ve heard from him, it’s still quite insightful, as he and Hough work well together in covering many aspects in relation to making the film.

	Full Frontal - Cranky Critic® Movie Reviews
		Or you can let Cranky explain that Full Frontal is a series of soundless screams rising from the LA basin, crossing lines of economic class and race, all of which focus on that awful realization that (you're) forty and (you're) all alone.
		Full Frontal traverses a day in the lives of all of its characters, moving steadily towards the climactic party in celebration of Gus' 40th.
		Full Frontal is OK for anyone who likes most of a director's output to take the chance and allow (himself) to get hit by the proverbial wall.

		"Full Frontal" is fascinating to watch from a purely theatrical standpoint, but as a Hollywood razzing, it's strictly leftovers.
		The key to "Full Frontal" is the actors, and as instructed by Soderbergh, they have a healthy sense of exuberance with this so-called "experimental" film.

	Louisville Scene \| Movies \| Movie Review \| 'Full Frontal' (Site not responding. Last check: )
		''Full Frontal,''' director Steven Soderbergh's low-budget companion piece to ''sex, lies & videotape,'' was obviously a kick for him and the actors, who were willing to forgo private trailers and fix their own hair and makeup during the 18-day shoot.
		I admire Soderbergh for experimenting with form and allowing actors to improvise with their characters, but ''Full Frontal'' turns out to be a series of character sketches in a movie within a movie, as if it were an outline for a real movie.
		The accomplishment of ''Full Frontal'' is that it gives the viewer a sense of how confused actors -- and others in Los Angeles' star-making machinery -- can become when their creative work involves so much pretending and pretension.

		Full Frontal delves into the lives of a group of characters, all of whom are somehow involved with the movie industry.
		Full Frontal's most effective accomplishment is establishing the camera's voyeuristic nature.
		In this sense, the viewer may argue that the camera itself seems to suffer from the same identity crisis as its subjects: a crisis that fails to transmit a clear picture of its narrative and visual identity.

	Top Box Office Movies - Full Frontal
		Relentlessly grainy in its digital video format and incessantly self-indulgent to boot, "Full Frontal" begs to envoke the Dogme 95 guidelines by incorporating a "carefree" approach to stripping away the conventional padding of a motion picture's exuberant structure.
		"Full Frontal" is based upon a series of monologues by playwright and Soderbergh associate Coleman Hough.
		Soderbergh wants the audience to experience the plodding goings-on of his "brave" performers but there's no passion or motivation for us to appreciate their self-serving antics in what amounts to be a gimmicky finger-pointing examination at the exhausting exploits of the fickle entertainment field.

	FULL FRONTAL
		Frontal's shtick is that it's about a movie within a movie within a movie (which may possibly be within yet another movie, but I stopped paying attention after a while).
		Frontal's studio has kept the premise of the film top-secret, most likely because they have yet to find someone who can accurately describe it.
		The unjust recipient of an "R" rating (there isn't any "full frontal" in the film, though there is a rub-and-tug gag that was done better in 2 Days in the Valley), Frontal is the most obnoxious Let's-Get-Our-Friends-Together-To-Make-An-Important-Labor-of-Love film since The Anniversary Party.

		I first heard Full Frontal Folk at a Philly Folk Song presentation of Da Vinci's Notebook (which isn't folk at all!), and the audience was so amazed that we brought them out for an encore, which was unexpected by the band.
		Full Frontal Folk, as gifted a vocal ensemble as our town has heard for decades, have released a CD (Storming the Castle) that features an a cappella that is expressive, creative and, altogether, charming.
		Full Frontal Folk is four women from Pennsylvania who harmonize, weave melodies and pose discretely nude on the front cover of Storming The Castle.

	Frank's Reel Movie Reviews - Movie Review - Full Frontal
		Full Frontal, shot mostly on digital video in a meager 18 days, is a progressive patchwork piece about the people who make up the fragile center of the Hollywood film culture and industry.
		Looking at the groundbreaking Sex, Lies and Videotape, the intelligent Solaris and now the scatter shooting Full Frontal, we begin to understand that his approach to film is from the aspect of its most basic roots...that of people being themselves in front of the camera.
		Intended as a film within a film, Full Frontal is centered around invitees to a film producer's (David Duchovney) 40th birthday party.

	TheMovieBoy Review: Full Frontal (2002)
		In making the movie, Soderbergh's memo to his cast was simple: they had to provide their own transportation; they would not be furnished with trailers or catering services; they were responsible for their own wardrobe and makeup; and they were going to have fun, whether they wanted to or not.
		"Full Frontal" is an unrestrained, at times improvised, 24-hour expose on a group of interconnected people living in Hollywood who will converge in the evening for the 40th-birthday bash for movie producer Gus (David Duchovny).
		While not all of his aspirations pay off (the statement he wants to make about film versus reality is not a new one, nor is it developed enough to fully gratify), "Full Frontal" penetratingly draws us in to this passing snapshot of just a few of the many unsatisfying lives in Tinseltown.

	Full Frontal (2002): Blair Underwood, Catherine Keener, Julia Roberts - PopMatters Film Review
		And on yet another level, it's all about Acting with a capital A. In casting Full Frontal, Soderbergh issued a list of rules: actors had to provide their own costumes, makeup, and meals, and they had to come up with in-character answers to interview questions he asked during the 18-day, $2 million shoot.
		While you're watching, you may be inclined to think that the melodramatic plot and silly characters are deliberate devices, such that the absurdity and annoyingness of the "real" (video) sections comment doubly (or triply, as there is yet another layer of film-within-the-filmness here) on the absurdity and annoyingness of the "unreal" (film) sections.
		Full Frontal is also one of Soderbergh's celebrated "alternate" projects -- the "little" ones he makes in between the Erin Brockoviches and the Oceans Elevens -- in order to remind everyone that he's not just a skilled mainstream director, but also thoughtful and self-conscious, an artist who recognizes the ugly effects of his chosen business.

	Full Frontal by Buena Vista Home Video - A Game Monkeys Review!
		Story and Acting: Full Frontal is the story of seven strangers who are loosely connected to one another through a film producer friend (David Duchovny), each of whom is having a miserable day in his or her own way.
		The story is extremely disjointed and awkward, to the point where only at the end of the film do you really have a clue what was going on, which makes for an uncomfortable viewing.
		In short, even talented actors with plenty of screen time can't save the ship from sinking when they've nothing to work with for the script, the premise is inherently flawed, and the plot is strung together by frayed bits of used dental floss.

	The DVD Journal \| Quick Reviews: Full Frontal (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Full Frontal, Steven Soderbergh's return to his experimental roots following a string of big-budget hits, may have provided welcome refreshment to the undeniably talented auteur — and an ego-stroking sense of risky street cred to the marquee stars on the call sheet — but as a drama none of the pieces come together.
		Soderbergh explains in an interview (included on this DVD) that he and screenwriter Coleman Hough conceived Full Frontal as a change of pace from Soderbergh's sprawling successes with Erin Brokovich, Traffic and Ocean's 11 — as a small movie of intimate scenes, each featuring no more than two performers.
		The disc also includes a commentary with Soderbergh (who is typically entertaining) and Hough, eight deleted scenes with commentary by Hough, in-character interviews with the actors, pointless "spy-cam" footage, an interview with Soderbergh, "The Rules" outlining working behavior demanded of the performers, and a trailer.

	Full Frontal review
		Full Frontal features three levels of reality: a Hollywood satire (in grainy tones), a film starring Julia Roberts and the film within the film being shot.
		At the same time, this affection can also be viewed as a lack of neutrality—he is now a major player in Hollywood—what might explain that Full Frontal doesn't have the bite of the likes of The Player and Swimming with Sharks.
		Full Frontal provides a good dose of fun through its ensemble of oddball characters and by having big Hollywood names caricature themselves.

	Full Frontal - Movie Review
		Thank heaven that while Full Frontal is one of Soderbergh's most experimental works to date, it's also one of his best.
		We go behind the curtain when we realize that Soderbergh is using rich lighting and full 35mm film for the Catherine-Nicholas vignettes (a film entitled Rendezvous) but is using what appears to be a cheap toy camera for the "real life" scenes, which play out in the offices and hotels of Los Angeles.
		The full "rules" of the film are included along with outtakes from Soderbergh's on-set spy cam, and a feature-length commentary from Soderbergh and writer Coleman Hough.

	Full Frontal (2002)
		With Full Frontal, a mean-spirited Hollywood comedy that is breathtaking in its wrong-headedness, he directs his sixth film since resuscitating his career with 1998's Out of Sight and hits a creative brick wall.
		Soderbergh has assembled a talented ensemble in Full Frontal, and the real shame is that they are trapped playing one-dimensional characters.
		Because, really, when one considers the title, Full Frontal, one shouldn't think that it means the director has had a lobotomy.

	The Flick Filosopher \| Full Frontal and Simone (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Full Frontal is most notable for the fact that its director, on a lark, decided he wasn't going to put up with this kind of diva behavior.
		The entire film takes place within the confines of a single day, leading up to an evening birthday party for David Duchovny's (Evolution) Gus, who is producing Carl's film; Duchovny blusters Gus into his momentous 40th with literally naked fear.
		Full Frontal doesn't refer to physical nudity, though, but rather emotional nudity.
