Paul S @PabloSeguro Jan 18 I revisited Foxes this weekend, admired it upon its release, and I admire it just as much now. The film centers on four friends in Los Angeles (in the valley), each emerging from a different domestic circumstance, immersed in a milieu of drugs, alcohol, sex, and music. I grew up in 90210 during this precise period and knew peers who mirrored every character. Bound together, they attend school and navigate daily life as a unit, forming a fierce surrogate family. Their allegiances endure beyond fleeting infatuations, in a world where high schoolers are compelled to confront adult vices without the protections of adulthood. Foxes remains an incisive portrait of how teenagers actually lived within a specific culture, capturing the cadence and texture of adolescent life through young actors who are, to varying degrees, portraying versions of themselves.

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.

Jodie Foster delivers a super impressive performance in what was an early, yet already impactful, role for the future star.

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. See more Read all reviews
