Scott M Very much an Adriane Layne movie. The director knows what's funny and what is interesting and what is not. He captures the late 1970's teenage girl perfectly. Or at least what we want them to be in Jodie Foster. Not so much Cherie Currie. But they are both great in this movie. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/24/25 Full Review Carlos I Paul Morrissey's 1980 film Foxes is a fascinating, at times bleak and at others surprisingly fun, coming-of-age movie that adopts a cinema vérité approach, making it feel less like a traditional narrative and more like a raw, unfiltered snapshot of youth culture in the 1970s. Jodie Foster delivers a super impressive performance in what was an early, yet already impactful, role for the future star. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/14/25 Full Review Charles b If you were a teen back then this movie shows true to life... Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/26/25 Full Review Blu B So it's a coming of age melodrama done 70's style about a group of girls. The premise isn't unique and there really isn't much in the way here to make this stand out besides Jodie Foster being in it and the soundtrack which is pretty solid actually. The 70's AM disco/pop soundtrack is probably the best thing about this but it goes long stretches also where there isn't much music. Everything else though is just alright about it. The direction has some moments but is pretty forgettable. The lighting a lot of times is kind of dull too. The biggest problem here is the other 3 girls outside of Foster feel like a distraction. Half the time it doesn't keep them together and they get their own stories which makes it feel unfocused (not necessarily jumpy though). It's not hard to follow and some of the drama is more interesting than others. There isn't that much to set them all apart (some more than others), After the party happens which is probably the best part it just kind of meanders with other things that just feel like they don't go anywhere or add up to much. The acting also is very forgettable. Some of the parents are good, Quaid, and Foster has some moments but that's it. If this had just focused on Foster or kept the group together more often this probably would've worked better. This tries to do both and the results are about as good as you could hope for I guess. Unless your a die hard fan of Jodie Foster most people could skip this. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/18/24 Full Review John A Judging by the opening scene I thought I was in for some kind of heart female adolescence tale. The second half of this early Adrian Lyne film peters out quite a bit and isn't as emotionally resonant as it tries to be. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/05/23 Full Review Audience Member these ladies are 'foxes' and they are fiesty fierce women Jodie Foster, Scott Baio, Sally Kellerman, Randy Quaid, and Cherie Currie the story is about 4 girl buddies with a lot of dysfunction in their lives during the 1970s in California drinking, drugs, and sleeping around seems to be the only remedy for them to get away from their abusive, negligent families It’s one thing to be a teenager in suburban culture but another to desperately grow up so fast, any of us can still feel, you can still have fun but still be a delinquent, we can’t always pick up the pieces of others they have to do it for themselves These ladies do feel like real people going through the motions of their youth; it’s fun, it’s hard, it’s impossible There’s a lot of temptations, frustrations, relationships and the rebellion of youth There’s gonna be tragedy but also light for potential happyness too Foster and the others act wonderfully here as troubled, sincere adolescents who are screaming to be heard Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/01/23 Full Review Read all reviews
