Nonureva Really Surprised!

Libramedi Intense, gripping, stylish and poignant

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Brooklynn There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) "She's a Fox" is an American short film from 2009 that runs for 18 minutes and was written and directed by Cameron Sawyer who is also the narrator in here. It is very obvious that this little movie is mostly known today because of one name: Hailee Steinfeld, who was recently Golden Globe nominated and is also an Oscar nominee from a couple years back. In this one here, she plays the love interest to the protagonist, the girl of his dreams, so yes this is basically a generic high school (comedy) movie. The lead actor I am not sure if he was good enough to be cast for the main character and Steinfeld's character was sadly very generic and had almost no material to work with, certainly none that fit her talent. The story was okay, nothing special, nothing bad I guess. The good thing was maybe the use of music. Overall, this is a relatively underwhelming work though and I am not surprised why neither Nutty nor Sawyer managed a breakthrough. I'd give it a thumbs-down. Not recommended, even if it is very true that Hailee Steinfeld is an absolute fox. Without her name attached to it, this one would have been completely forgotten I'm sure.

cnycitylady This short film is beyond words adorable. You cannot help but smile from start to finish. The characters are well developed in the short time allotted and you really vote for the young romance.It is very 'Wonder Years' in its make-up, but it utilizes it in the absolute best way possible. Jake Nutty is endearing as the young boy who tries to woo the girl of his dreams and Hailee Steinfeld is perfect as the girl who has captured his attention and affection. Even the minor characters like the boyfriend or the gang are well put together. The soundtrack is charming and the setting and time period work wonders for the mini movie. The only negative thing I have to say about it is that I wish it were longer; 10 minutes, 20, hell give me another hour. It is so enchanting that anyone would have sat through it.This very well may be the best short about young love ever. 9/10

mookiemills This is one of those short films that you really wish was and hour and a half instead of 20 minutes. Totally funny, but without trying too hard. It was fun to see an even younger Hailee Steinfeld (before True Grit fame) as the cute girl at school. Great overall cast and directed very well for a first timer. She's a Fox had that intangible quality of being completely honest without being preachy. I mean rarely in film is there a person who needs help that goes to God, usually in Hollywood they always confide in the all too convenient eccentric best friend played by unattractive character actors. Yet the film was never trying to shove some message down my throat, but just implied that there are still people that believe in God that aren't psychopaths. This is a great little film that is laugh out loud funny. Don't miss it.

toughguytrav A student short, this film could have really gone off the rails easily. But instead, it just leaves everyone in the audience smiling and thinking about their own "first love" in elementary school, and the travails of love since. Not pretentious or overly artsy, this film really connects with the audience and has us laughing all along the way. We squirm in our seats and want to shout, "NO!" in exactly the right points, all the while cheering on the main character "Cameron," played perfectly by the young Jake Nutty. It's also a fun glimpse into the early work of Hailee Steinfeld (who creates a stand-out character in True Grit alongside cinema greats like Jeff Bridges, Matt Damon, and Josh Brolin... no small order!). This film has real heart and sincerity. It's not your typical dark, brooding, conceptually deep independent film, but it's a real crowd- pleaser that leaves the audience in a lighter, happier place than they were 18 minutes previously.
