Review of Foxes (1980) by Dave S — 18 Apr 2010
Better than I expected. Has kind of a strange tone going on - not melancholy exactly, but close to it. Does a really good job of exploring the whole "troubled youth" thing without being overly sensational or judgmental.
Foster is good as always, Currie is an unusual but effective presence, and Scott Baio was allegedly 20 when this was made but he could easily pass for 12. The film's end takes a disappointing turn towards the maudlin - early warning sign of the downturn is right around the time a mother gets a monologue - but overall this is still more than worth checking out.
