"The Fox and the Child" tells the story of a (nature-loving) 10-year-old girl Bertille Noel-Bruneau, who, over the course of nearly a year, wins the (confidence) of Lily, a young vixen, in the Massif Central, an area of south-central France that (consists of) mountains and plateaus. The (charming) bedtime tale combines sentimental drama and (documentary) footage as the child's instinct to domesticate other forest animals, such as deer, bears, snakes, owls and badgers, grows (alongside) her "friendship" with Lily throughout the seasons. Directed by Luc Jacquet, who (scored) a hit with 2005's "March of the Penguins," a (breathtaking) documentary about Antarctica's (emperor) penguins, "The Fox and the Child" is picture-postcard pretty (due to) the beautiful French countryside. The (sylvan) landscape is indeed amazing, but you eventually wonder why the main character sees nobody and is allowed to roam alone all day. (Nonetheless), "The Fox and the Child" is sweetly (narrated) as a childhood memoir by Kate Winslet, and the movie is lovely to watch, especially with very young children, who are likely to find the story more (engaging) since it features very little (dialogue).
