Our take

We’re kicking off our Laurent Cantet double bill with his only film set in the U.S. Based on Joyce Carol Oates’s novel about a rebellious gang of teenage girls determined to fight the codes of patriarchy and authority, Foxfire is an exhilarating, fist-pumping look at the fight for justice.
