Pretty sexist, a little racist, and ultimately unfulfilling, Foxy Brown takes us on a journey of corruption by white people, but the message falls flat in the face of so much exploitation of women, which—couched in the idea of female empowerment—feels somehow insidious, and I really got sick of seeing tits everywhere. ⏰⏰

I love all the different looks Grier shows in this film, except maybe the drugged-out, helpless, tied-to-the-bed-while-two-disgusting-white-men-and-the-camera-ogle-her look (this is a Jack Hill film, after all) but thankfully, the kind of joy in commanding the screen that Elvis Mitchell talks about is evident in the performances of Grier, Antonio Fargas, and Juanita Brown, all of whom could have had very different careers in a culture where their talent was appreciated. ⏰⏰⏰
