It’s inventive in its savagery, almost always perturbing, but succeeds at the kind of absurd genre blend that made Yorgos Lanthimos a household name. Go to Full Review William Bibbiani TheWrap Mar 19, 2026
Courtney plays a big ol’ sack of crap in 'The Fox,' but there’s a dorky honesty to his performance that makes you pity him, no matter how bad he screws up. Go to Full Review Keri O'Shea Warped Perspective 4 days ago
There are so many ways that this sort of magic realism could play out and in other hands, it could have been very dark indeed – even a bit folk horror – but The Fox is achingly funny from the very start. Go to Full Review Sharai Bohannon Horror Movie Blog Oct 23, 2026
'The Fox' has all of the key ingredients to make this darkly comedic folktale fly. It has charm, a stacked cast, and feels like the comfort food we need at the end of this brutal year. Go to Full Review Jason Blake Limelight Oct 19, 2026
3/5
Harking back to darkly fantastical rural-setting flicks like The Cars That Ate Paris and Wake in Fright, writer/director Dario Russo’s oddball fable The Fox transports us to a regional town in a parallel universe where animals can talk. Go to Full Review Katie Hogan FILMHOUNDS Magazine Oct 15, 2026
3/5
It’s entertaining throughout, though the ending is much to be desired, and it may not fall into the beloved category, but you’ll certainly have fun watching it. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
