Leave your thoughts about Fox and His Friends.
| NewcityRay PrideBrute beauty... quietly savage 1975 x-ray of the exploitation of a simple man... startles with its dense, concrete tapestry of trashy fairgrounds and garishly tasteless apartments and bolthole gay bars and swimming pools and horrifying exploitation. |
| Slant MagazineEd GonzalezMake no mistake, this is the real Queer as Folk, but for all of Fassbinder's gripes with an elite gay culture's many sexual hang-ups, Fox and His Friends is first and foremost a riveting evocation of Social Darwinism in action. |
| MovieMartyr.comJeremy HeilmanNot for a moment does Fassbinder indulge our fantasies that Fox's tryst might be working toward a happy ending. |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonOne of Fassbinder's own personal favorites, the powerful Fox and His Friends may also be the greatest gay film ever made. |
| New YorkerRichard BrodyThis melodramatic fable of emotional extremes is sharp and precise-nowhere more than in Fassbinder's attention to the price of domestic comforts and industrial necessities. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertHere is a movie about characters who define themselves by their sexuality, but the movie doesn't. It takes the sexuality as a given, and defines them by their values and morals. |
| Filmcritic.comChristopher NullFox's journey downward is more of a straight shot than a spiral. |
| Nick's Flick PicksNick DavisAn ace snapshot from 27 years ago that still feels contemporary and pressing. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzOne of Rainer Werner Fassbinder's brilliant melodramas from the 1970s. |
| ReelTalk Movie ReviewsDonald J. LevitThe film's stark relentlessness has power to move an audience. |
