THE FOX
Australia, 2025: 90 minutes: Canadian Premieredescription
A man takes advice from a talking fox who promises to fix his relationship problems.
When Nick (Jai Courtney), affable heir to a wealthy rural landowner, discovers his fiancée, Kori (Emily Browning), is cheating on him, he wants nothing more than to just fix the problem. One night, he captures a rogue Fox (voiced by Olivia Colman), and she offers him a trade-off: if Nick lets her live, the Fox will help save his relationship. All he has to do is push Kori into a magic hole with the power to change her into the perfect partner. Nick follows the Fox’s advice but the Kori that emerges from the hole is not what he expected.
