Yes, it says all the right things about love and humanity and the folly of war. My problem is that it doesn’t say any of those things in ways that are particularly interesting or ultimately moving.

“The Fox” is not only a touching story about this poignant relationship between a human and an animal, but also a primer in how to forgive those who we feel have trespassed against us.

Rated: 3.5/4
