The Grey Fox

About This Movie

The Grey Fox is an intriguing exploration of redemption and reinvention set against the backdrop of a changing America. Phillip Borsos directs this period piece with a deliberate pace, giving us a chance to really soak in the atmosphere of the turn of the century. The film has a remarkable way of melding the Western genre with historical drama. The performances, especially from Richard Farnsworth as Bill Miner, are warm and layered — you can feel the weight of the years in his portrayal. There’s a certain charm to the way Miner navigates this new world, and the practical effects and attention to detail in the production design really pull you into that vibe of the era. It’s a reflective piece about what it means to belong, even when you’re on the fringes.
