“Laurent Cantet director of the Cannes palm Du0026#39;or and Oscar Nominated u0026quot;The Classu0026quot; latest effort u0026quot;Foxfireu0026quot; did little to impress me a film about a group of teenage girls in upstate New York in 1950u0026#39;s who call them selves u0026quot;Foxfireu0026quot; they are angry and out to cause trouble and who can blame them I blame the director of this film and the dialect coach and casting director. The ensemble performance by the female cast played out like amateur actors in a B film the dialogue sounded to Canadian who can blame Laurent Cantet he is French he probably couldnu0026#39;t notice the difference and the dialect coach must have been deaf. The film itself stretched out its welcome running 2hours and 20minutes I felt the film was going no where after watching it for 90 minutes. And the fact that the film won a best actress prize at The San Sebastian International Film Festival Katie Coseni the jury must not have had much to choose from to give a best actress award.”
