Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
For slicing through the euphemisms and getting to the heart of the matter, Fast Food Nation is the most important American film of the year.

rotten:
The fiction that Schlosser and the director Richard Linklater have extracted from the book is a mess, with narrative lines that go astray or simply wind up in the air.

To me at least, there were just too many ingredients.

fresh:
To a degree, Fast Food Nation gets the job done, not least because of a harrowing section, late in the film, made up of actual slaughterhouse footage.

Even if you swear off burgers forever, it won't make Fast Food Nation's characters come to life.
