Riding her bicycle on her way to school, a dreamy, ten-year-old, red-haired farm girl decides to take a shortcut through a ruddy and luscious autumn forest, somewhere in the mountainous region of eastern France. Unexpectedly, the young girl encounters a bright-eyed red fox, however, the untamed wild animal flees in an instant, leaving her longing to meet again. Since then, a whole winter has passed and still no sign of the elusive fox, but with the arrival of spring, the girl determined to find the animal, finally locates its den and an ambitious effort to grow accustomed to each other begins. As we witness a succession of compelling scenes, lost inside the enchanting and breathlessly exquisite landscape, we observe the bond between a human and a savage animal grow gradually stronger, yet, a wish and question emerge. If only we, humans, could talk to the wild beasts, and if we could, could we ever become friends?
Leave your thoughts about The Fox and the Child.
| TeletextVictor OlliverThe Tally-ho! brigade may need an extra snifter of sherry if they see Jacquet's new film. It's about to do for foxes what Babe did for pigs back in 1995. |
| The AustralianEvan WilliamsThe Fox and the Child is more than a wildlife documentary. It invites us to contemplate alternative worlds of sensation and experience, to enter the consciousness of other species, to explore our contacts with them. |
| sbs.com.auDon GrovesA gentle, rambling adventure in the wild. |
| Film4Daniel EtheringtonA film that looks sumptuous, presents viewers with a splendid array of European beasties, but veers off into some strange contrivances. |
| MoviedexAnders WotzkeFalls shy of being either a captivating tale for kids or an enlightening documentary for adults. |
| At the Movies (Australia)Margaret PomeranzLuc Jacquet doesn't do great narration, but he does animals really well. |
| FILMINK (Australia)Amy WheelerA strange mix of doco/fairy tale, this film does have beautiful cinematography but is let down by inconsistencies in tone. |
| Total FilmKate StablesKids will be hooked, but adult viewers may yearn for something a bit racier, with fewer cute field-mice and more fox fucking. |
| Sky CinemaElliott NoblePerhaps a shade too long to hold the youngest viewers in permanent thrall, this is a family film in the truest sense - only the grouchiest bear won't find something to like. |
| Eye for FilmAmber WilkinsonThe term 'gentle' is too harsh a word to describe the pace of this tale which is so slow in places it's a wonder moss isn't growing on it. |
