Yes, it says all the right things about love and humanity and the folly of war. My problem is that it doesn’t say any of those things in ways that are particularly interesting or ultimately moving.

“The Fox” is not only a touching story about this poignant relationship between a human and an animal, but also a primer in how to forgive those who we feel have trespassed against us.

You'd have to be a pretty cold individual not to be a bit torn up over this film. A young man tries to hang onto his humanity despite being a cog in war. The fox could have been the metaphor, except for the true story.
