Karry Best movie of this year hands down!

Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Hunter Lanier "The Little Foxes" is the tale of the Giddens family, who are less a family and more a conglomerate of biologically analogous individuals. They're the kind of people to whom love is merely the imperative fine-print to an otherwise sound negotiation between parties.The film is an ensemble piece, but as the poster suggests, Bette Davis is the foundation. She is Regina Giddens, the most cunning of her family; whereas being a woman of her time period was usually a crummy deal, it actually allows her to creep in the shadows unnoticed by the equally greedy--but more visible--men. Regina's husband, Horace (Herbert Marshall), a man of incredible wealth, is dying with no male heirs--a scent no fox can resist. Unfortunately for the foxes, Horace feels their hot breath, and repels; for, as is typical of the dying, life begins to become clearer the farther one is away from it. And seeing as how there's more than one family member interested in the money, the snakes get themselves all knotted up.Davis is phenomenal in her cold, specter-like way. At moments, she's almost perceivable as a malevolent porcelain doll--or maybe it's my own fear of such things talking. She berates her helpless husband, firing insults from all cylinders into a downed man, and all with such ease, like one might say "good morning." Her venomous ways culminate in one hell of a scene, in which she doesn't say a word, but merely sits and says nothing, slowly tightening as if feeling a rope around her neck. One would be remiss to fail to mention some of the side players. Marshall as Davis's husband is aptly empathetic and relates the character's realizations in a way that makes them feel grown and not instant. I could go through each and every featured actor in the film and bestow kind words, but I have only so many words myself, so I won't. Just know they deliver."The Little Foxes" is a dark, brooding look at greed, and its effect on something as seemingly sacred as family. The film even suggests broader implications, with lines from the foxes like "we'll own the country one day." Look into that what you will.

utgard14 A conniving woman (Bette Davis) and her loathsome brothers try to force her estranged dying husband (Herbert Marshall) into a business scheme that will exploit the poor people of their town. A tale of greed and corruption in the Deep South at the turn of the last century. Lillian Hellman adapted her own stage play. Well directed by William Wyler. Bette naturally owns the movie. Also fine performances from Herbert Marshall and Teresa Wright. Nice support, particularly from Charles Dingle and Patricia Collinge. Not a lot of likable characters in this one. It's a powerful drama, well crafted for sure, but you'll probably need antidepressants after.

Aleksander Domberg This movie would not be my first choice if I was to pick a movie to watch on a Friday night. I think for what it was about, content wise, the movie was pretty interesting. It started getting old though, and movies that just shine light on how greedy people can be gets disappointing after a while. I think the camera work was ordinary, nothing too special happening. I think the actors and actresses did a good job though, and credit should be given to the leading actress for being so cold and evil. I think this movie has a very important deep message that it was trying to convey, which in the end love triumphs all. This movie pertained to social-cultural issues of that time, but those issues still apply to today.

Victoria Colarusso The Little Foxes was a shocking story of betrayal and manipulation within family bloodlines. The greed and corruption that runs rampant in the Hubbards is stunning, even from today's perspective. There is something heart-breaking about family turning on family in order to reach a financial goal. Regina is clearly the star of the film, even though she is the antagonist. Her daughter, Alexandra, is who the audience truly identifies with. Watching Alexandra overcome the evil she's been brought up around is inspiring. Try as she might, Regina could not bring her daughter down to the level she was at. Watching an innocent, naive young girl grow up and realize what her family is was as sad as it was happy. Alexandra was dealt a terrible card in life, but she rose above it.
