5.0 out of 5 stars A time for living, and a time for leaving., June 24, 1999

This review is from: Foxfire [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This video should appeal to every person that has a place, in their past, that remains in memory only. I originally bought the video because I am one of John Denver's biggest fans, but after watching it the first time I was captured by the interaction of its three main charactors. The devotion and love of Jessica and Hume brought a level of comfort and familiarity to the pairing of "Annie" and "Hector". John wears his character of "Dillard" as comfortably as he wears the jeans and flannel shirts; as easily as he walks the mountain paths. The old homeplace provides a sharp reminder to all that happiness and success can be found in the most humble of places. For many elders, the need to maintain long nourished roots overshadows the desire for comfort and an easier way of life. The need to remain amoung familiar and cherished routines, and the fear of dying amoung strangers, is woven throughout the film. The team of Tandy, Cronyn, and Denver present a heartwarming story of life as it was, and life as it is becoming for the people of areas where the land is a harsh master.

4.0 out of 5 stars Brilliantly fashioned., October 30, 1999

As in his music, John Denver gives nothing short of a deep and profound performance. He brings great truth and vibrancy to his role, playing a country-born man who struggles between career and family and the conflicting responsibilities of the two. His dynamic with Jessica Tandy and Jud Taylor is superb; one wonders why Denver was not cast in more films. "Thank God" he was cast in this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Fox Fire", April 2, 2000

You couldn't throw these three actors together and get anything but an excellent family movie. The storyline is very good & touching, especially if you have old folks in your life. It is also a very scenic movie. Good movie for your collection if you like the Hallmark collections.
