For me the only thing I needed to know was it starred John Denver.
I think he was great. It was a heart warming movie showing how people could live their life as they wanted and not be put down for what they believed in. I have watched it several time already and will no doubt watch it again and again

Foxfire an excellent movie

Before I watched this movie I had a certain bias as Jessica Tandy is one of my favorite actors ever... But I wasn't dissappointed. This is an excellent Hallmark movie. The plot is Jessica Tandy plays a woman who has lived in a rural area in the mountains in the south all her life. Her son played by John Denver is urging her to sell and live with him to have an easier and safer life- she is 79. Annie Nations (Tandy) still talks to her husband Hector played by real life husband Hume Cronyn everday and seems content. But things start to happen. A developer is pushing Annie to sell her land, her son's (Denver) is having family issues, and she wants to be with her grandchildren. Casting John Denver in this was a good choice. His music really adds to the movie and the beauty of the mountains is something special. Foxfire shows the choices that at some point we have to make in life- saying goodbye to what is familiar and loved to live somewhere else, and knowing when to let go and start another part of your life. Jessica Tandy is so dignified and real as Annie Nations. She won a well deserved Emmy for this role. The family dynamics are very real and watching Foxfire is time well spent.

A charming Hallmark movie. The story is deep and endearing.
A woman living on her homestead is faced with the decision of either staying or selling. She visits with her ghost of a husband up on the hill where he is buried for his advise. Her son wants her to come and live with him. The ending is excellent and satisfying.
