Review of Foxes (1980) by Lara S — 04 Jun 2007
Overlooked gem from Jodie Foster's in between period (Between her child actor years of "Taxi Driver" and "Freaky Friday" (Original.) and her adult years starting with "The Accused".).
The story is about 4 teenage girls living a life of sex and drugs in suburban Los Angeles. Foster's Character (Named Jeanie) acts as the unofficial mother hen of the group looking out for all of them. Especially the troubled Annie (Played by Cherie Currie. Lead singer of the 70's cult girl rock group THE RUNAWAYS.) who abuses hard drugs regularly and sleeps around with older men to escape from her unhappy home life and her abusive father.
Although the film is rather dated as far as the fashions and music goes. (In particular with its disco heavy soundtrack!) The grittiness is still sadly very relevant (Especially with all of the scandals surrounding young clebs like Lindsey Lohan!).
