The Fox and the Child (2007)

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

The Worst Film Ever

Pretty Good

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

I believe this film just never started, because the fox and the child met each other day after day, week after week and they did things and wolves came into the equation and a bit of Adventure. Another thing is her Mom and Dad never show up or anything and you wouldn't be allowed outside nearly everyday, of course they'd ask you "What did you do today?" I'm not trying to be offensive to Pathe!, but as this isn't a very big film companies movie, I don't think it is advertised as much, but I got it from Matalan, and hadn't heard about it before. On the good side of the film, it is lovely how the girl meets the fox and they develop a friendship, I think that is lovely ! Very sad as well, I have to admit I did shed a few tears, as the Fox, which she names Lily, nearly dies, but I sort of new that she wouldn't. I give this movie 3 out of 10, because of the points in there that say the film isn't amazing.

This film has some pretty significant things going for it: The cinematography and lighting are beautiful; together they successfully capture a truly dense and wondrous natural landscape. The animal handling is impressive. The little girl is cute.But if this film had had no narration and no voice over it would have been substantially better. Both (in the English version, anyway) are invasive, poorly written, and poorly executed. The music is also occasionally distractingly over-dramatic. It's unfortunate that the filmmakers didn't have enough insight to remove these unsuccessful elements in order focus on their strengths.

A must see for anyone who loves photography. stunning and breathtaking,leaves you in ore. seen it twice once in a cinema and now on DVD. it holds up well on DVD but on the big screen this was something else.Took my two daughters to see this and they loved it, my oldest cried at the end.but she was the one who wanted to see it again tonight when she saw it at the video shop. its simple telling of a child's love for nature and in particular a fox is told well. in some ways it reminded me of the bear in its telling a story not documentary formate. which works for children very well. not being preached to is very important, you make your own mind up.But the star of this film is the cinematographers, how did they do what they did. amazing just amazing.

The very first image of the movie shows a mountain ridge in early morning autumn mist, and my thought was: "This is almost too beautiful." And it goes on like this: Images of landscape and animals that look like a series of romantic paintings, each of them perfect in every detail. Even the girl's room, her father's car - everything is nostalgic, romantic, beautiful. This could seem outdated and escapistic, but it fits a story that is itself of silent beauty, happening on the border between life and fairy tale, between Dian Fossey and Le Petit Prince. I enjoyed every minute of it. The extreme parsimony of the movie, having a simple, slow story, just one actor and hardly any special effects, exerted a strong magic. I therefore find it deplorable that this parsimony is given up in the last minutes, when suddenly two additional actors (the girl as a grown-up woman, and her son) are introduced. Another shortcoming is the music, which is often intrusive, Hollywood-like, and sometimes inappropriate: I couldn't bring an English pop-song together with French mountain glory. I went to the movie together with my two small daughters, but I recommend it to adults as well, given that they appreciate this kind of movie. Obviously, not everybody does.
