Review – Foxes

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the strange world of 1979. Suburban girls growing up with divorced parents were apparently considered interesting enough to make a movie about. KISS was so big that their posters were on at least one wall in every home. Parents bought beer for their kids and didn’t think a second thing about it (actually that probably still happens a lot). A riot breaks out at a party and nobody busts out a cell phone to call the cops (because yes, believe it or not, there was an age before cell phones). Jodie Foster was young. Laura Dern (in a brief role) was young. Adrian Lyne was making his very first feature film, honing tastes for bad lighting and worse writing that would serve him throughout his over-long career. Like the song says, “those were different times.” Mildly amusing
