The Americaꦬn dream gets a goin⭕g-over in Laurent Cantet’s (Palme d’or winner ) absorbing adap of Joyce Caro♍lℱ Oates’ novel.

Set in a mid-’50s small town in upstate New York, it follows the Foxfire gang: led by charismatic𝄹 Legs (Raven Adamson), they’re a group of female teens fighting male oppression.

Dreamily narrated by shy Maddy (Kate Co🍬seni), Cantet’s film avoids period nostalgia, paying attention to the solidarity and tensions in the proto-feminist band as they struggle to break the shackles of main🦩stream society.
