Review of Foxes

Foxes (1980)
4/10
A movie full of horrible people
17 May 2021
So this movie is about 16 year olds living alone, doing drugs, skipping class, and sleeping around. Nobody is someone you can root for and there's no plot, just little vignette. Not having been alive in the 70's I can't say if its true to life, but there's so much here that just seemed a little too far out. Like the part where the mom moves out so that the 16 year old Jodie Foster can live alone. Like uh, really? Who would do that? Also, I was cheering for Cherie Curie to die at the end because she was totally useless, a burnout at 15. Wow, great life there sister.

Solid soundtrack and I guess an evocative time, but it';s hardly a movie about people you root for or want to spend any time with. The Angel cameo was neat though.
