'Foxcatcher' is a painful exhibition of what movies should be: A powerful story tinted through the mind of a talented director, resulting in a work of art much greater than the sum of its parts. It felt like a jolt of defibrillation through that husk the movie format has become. Miller understands shadows, he understands pauses. He trusts the acting and dialogue, that breathes throughout the film like vintage wine. I don't think I have another superhero movie in me after having experienced this.

Slow. Quiet. Cold. Devastating. It's about the toxic, tragic bastardization of the American dream--these characters all dream big but are ultimately too flawed (by money, by lack of imagination, by lack of talent) to get that place on the Wheaties box and achieve that level of heroism that they all crave so desperately. Carell, Tatum and Ruffalo are sensational, haunting, even hypnotic, even as the world around their characters grows ever more pathetic.

Almost too subtle for its own good in terms of how it hints at the relationship between du Pont and Mark. It is a curious story told so dispassionately and clinically that any kind of real resonance filters away. It's best when it focuses on what it means to be isolated and lonely. As good as the performances are, it's only Ruffalo's Dave who feels lived in and natural. Maybe that's intentional because du Pont and Mark are so uncomfortable in their own skin. The whole thing is arm's length.

Acting is not standing there pretending to think. We've come full circle to where I'm starting to think the hack from adaptation has a point. Carell was miserable, Ruffalo is fine, Tatum is ok. Since I live like 10 min from the location and know the actual story the liberties and skipped information ruined large portions of this as well. Psycho handled mommy issues with more tact.

A cold and slow burn, often mesmerising but occasionally too atmosphere-driven and plot-light to support the magnificent performances on display here. The muted tone gives Foxcatcher a unique feel among true-story films of this ilk, but it doesn't always translate to a gripping experience. Definitely an achievement, and I recommend it, but it's a little too arms-length for me.

The carefully observed relationship between the brothers makes this a real stand out for me. Few films delve into sibling dynamics, and I appreciate the way Miller effectively uses this relationship as a set up for du Pont to enter the narrative. The early scene of the brothers training together says much with little dialogue. The film's continual restraint allows the unease associated with the whole situation to fester, mirroring the increasingly strained relationships between the principles.

Bennett Miller's crime biopic starts off being darkly humorous before turning disturbing as the inevitable tragedy unfolds. Miller's direction, much like with Capote and Moneyball, is precise and subtle, while the performances are remarkable across the board. Carell and Tatum give performances here that rank above everything they have done previously, and Ruffalo is great as always.

What did I just witness? No actors throwing lines at each other straight from the script, no sterilized sound effects, no unnecessary recap dialogue, generally great performances and a slow and exquisite style. All that being said, it was a bit too slow at times and I will probably not watch it again.

There's something "off" about this movie. And I don't just mean Carell's strange performance (it might be a good impersonation, but I didn't find it to be good acting). The pacing never gets off the ground. It's like 2 hours of prologue and then 10 minutes of epilogue with nothing in between. I knew nothing about this real life story, so the ending was abrupt and confusing.

The performances were all very convincing and the overall tone seemed to be captured well but there is just something missing about Foxcatcher that is really hard to put your finger on. Everything leading up to the anti-climactic ending felt a little contrived and left me a bit confused on how to feel, other than let down. A lot of people may feel this movie was excellent but it just wasn't for me.

An impeccably produced and magnificently acted docudrama about a fascinating true figure, but man alive, is it a deathly, depressing, glacially-paced slog. Pretty much the 2014 poster child for the subtle but key difference between a movie being good and me liking it. I'll never watch it again.

STOP! Before reading this review, you have to know that I never finished this film. It has now been over two weeks since I turned it off, and it's doubtful I ever go back. Why? The film is about subtlety and repression, and this may rise to the surface in the third act, but I will never know. Regardless, Carell feels like he's playing a bad Brando, and I couldn't get past the obvious make-up on his face. Yes, this may be a superficial reason, but I demand fast, heart-pounding action, dammit!

I would have rather watched someone hunt a fox on horseback than watch this film. I found this whole movie tiresome and boring. Yes, there were some good scenes of acting but past that, this was as exciting as a actual non-WWE wrestling match. Which, at least to me, isn't terribly exciting... The biggest problem I had with this though was the pure drudgery of it all, I kept waiting for something big to happen and it only came right before the credits...

Steve Carell was really good. Mark Ruffalo also put in a solid, subtle performance. Channing Tatum is still an uncharismatic meathead. The role was actually quite suited to him, though. Overall, it's a good film, but not an outstanding one. Everything's fine, technically speaking, and I did like how it touched on themes about masculinity and the United States, but I'm not sure there was a enough substance to sustain the whole 2-hour runtime.

The true story of how wrestler Mark Schultz (Channing Tatum) fell under the thrall of disturbed billionaire John DuPont (Steve Carell), with tragic consequences. Bleak portrait of misguided machismo, of men who think they can restore America's supposedly lost glory--and of Mark's brother Dave (Mark Ruffalo), who becomes trapped in a situation he cannot control. Bennett Miller's direction is coldly impressive, and the acting is hard to fault; only the script seems to lack a certain depth.

A really interesting movie, sporting some incredibly bold moves. The acting is out of thid world as Carell, Tatum and Ruffalo all shine. That being said, the movie is a bit slow and the lack of music in a lot of parts only slows it down even more. Miller creates a unique and innovative experience, but one that needs work.

Slow, cold, and quiet, but all the better for it. I normally hate movies like that but here the acting is on full display and Tatum, Ruffalo, and Carell deliver ten fold. Its a subtle movie with great character development. The use of sound and dynamics creates such unbelievable mood and tension. This is one film you don't want to go to the bathroom during. Blink at the wrong time and you might miss something. Though if you pay attention all the pieces are there for a rewarding conclusion.

A lot more than just a sordid true crime thriller. I don't find it as emotionally distant as some do; it's actually quite a sensitive character piece, and there's a wide gamut of feeling (resentment, love, insecurity, disappointment) projected through violence, action and competition rather than through words. Carell is getting most of the attention for his quietly terrifying work but Ruffalo and Tatum are exceptional as well. Another mature film from Miller.

Foxcatcher is a slow-paced drama based on real-life events that doesn't provide much more than surface-level information. It doesn't provide much time for reflection after big events, yet gives us countless scenes of people sitting around or training when we don't need that time of reflection. It has great acting and deserves accolades for that, but otherwise it's a slow, uninformative, and not all that interesting drama.

"Foxcatcher" narrates the bankruptcy of the American 'easy success' mythology through the compelling (and quietly chilling) drama of these fractured, dependant personalities. Carell and Tatum are powerhouses (Ruffalo is good as well) and Miller abstains from pyrotechnics, going for his preferred muted approach -as a result, the film is rarely manipulative and rarely truly spectacular.

Foxcatcher was creepy throughout. Steve Carell, in one of his first non-comedic roles, really shines. He really gets into the character of John du Pont. From the first moment that he was on screen I felt uneasy, without even having known the back story of this movie. I had no idea, until I just read the starring section below, that Sienna Miller was in this movie. Ruffalo and Tatum do an amazing job as loving brothers. I guess my biggest issue with this movie had to do with how empty it felt.

Like a way more obvious, more moralistic version of The Master: rich man mad he can't own and use people like any other asset, and can't command their devotion (money can't buy me love). The homoeroticism got a little juvenile at times, and ultimately was unnecessary. There's a lot to like from the cast and director but I would have been pretty bored by this if I had known the factual details going in. They have done some of the work to make this more than a retelling, but not enough.

Despite (or because of) its hype, this movie underwhelmed me big time. The performances of Carrell, Tatum and Ruffalo were spot on. It's just that the story was too weirdly-paced and eccentric... I never knew where it was heading or what points it was trying to convey. I spent most of the film in a state of mild confusion. This certainly made the ending a surprise. I don't know precisely how DuPont's story should have been turned into a movie, but this was just a structureless shambles.

The cinematography in this movie is just amazing. The performances are mesmerizing. Steve Carell, of course, is the bright light in this film. He is barely recognizable, of course, because of the prosthetic nose, but in my opinion, mainly in the acting. Tatum does great, and i hope he flexes these acting chops more often. Ruffalo is ok, but nothing special. This is definitely a slow burn kinda movie, but if you're patient, all the features of this film come together to reward you in the best way

Watchable true story that leaves a lot unspoken, but hides nothing. The makeup is excellent.

So grotesquely disquieting, its final moments of violence come as more of a relief than a shock. One of the best ensemble performances on 2014. As a piece of broader cultural relevance and rewatchability, not so fast. It doesn't do as much as it could with what it has.

Alternately meandering and quietly compelling, the chilly and unsettling Foxcatcher is a triumph of acting and directing but it doesn't quite coalesce into a satisfying whole, as if the unifying glue that will hold it all together remains out of reach.

Not that much to it, however the three lead performances takes this somewhat thin and empty story to a higher level. Ruffalo is especially good. *Good

His mother has a stable of precious horses. John Du Pont want a stable of a precious olympionic wrestlers, be a mentor, fell the power, the respect, the love. Buyout with money a poor but pure sport. Schultz brothers end-up in his trap, in his selfish philanthropy, and react in different way. A characters-study, a psychological portrait, that lack emotional impact, at least until a memorable end. Great performances and a solid directing, maybe too solid: is not visually entertaining, at all.

Uncommunicative men play at macho sports; tragedy results. A kind of more enigmatic variation on RAGING BULL but the story is just not very interesting, at least as presented here.

An aimless script made this film a complete lost opportunity, despite good performances from the leads. (Spoilers) It tried to beat us over the head with "subtle" hints about a sexual relationship between Mark and du Pont, but never delved into whether this was just sexual tension or something acted upon (offscreen). Whether that existed in real life doesn't much matter to me, but as it was the only thing that was developed in the movie, leaving it so ambiguous made this a frustrating watch.

Decent. As a critique of competitiveness it's a bit similar to Whiplash - they are both mature and engaging albeit a little one-note. Nice cast.

Great performances but I'm disappointed in the film overall. Too meditative in my opinion, at some point in this film somebody really needed to just say "WTF is going on here".

Striking and scenic cinematography and stellar performances from the three leads are regrettably wasted here thanks to a stifling screenplay: Slow-burning embers of tension are expertly stoked but as scene after scene goes by without any flames the film really starts to drag and you're left waiting for something to happen. The massive potential of the interesting story and characters (Carell's discomforting rich recluse in particular) is suffocated in this bittersweet film.

foxcatcher is hard to rate. on one hand, it's got a weirdly interesting story, top notch performances from the cast, and some solid direction. on the other hand, the pacing is excruciating towards the end, and it gets downright tedious. worth watching for the bear cub chemistry between tatum and ruffalo.

Not so much disturbing as it is chillingly off-putting, a tautly directed true crime story that balances misguided masculinity and an almost childlike naiveté with equal impact. Anyone calling this slow or dull is completely missing the point.

The pacing was absolutely glacial, it took forever to get to the point. I was really, really bored, and by the time the movie got to the dark ending it was extremely jarring.

A cold and unsettling true drama with a subtle approach that keeps you interested and wondering from the very beginning. Miller has done a great job on the casting, Tatum and Ruffalo is astounding but as the movie goes on it's the brave casting of Carrel as Du Pont that draws the attention. An outside character with a growing dark side, probably someone who wanted to be a leader of men but wasn't naturally and eventually it's his horrible actions that leaves you wondering why.

This is an absolutely beautiful movie with incredible performances from Steve Carell and Mark Ruffalo, that ultimately feels a bit hollow. I don't particularly care about the subject of wrestling, so I had hoped there would be a little more to the personal relationships between the characters and their personalities, but they never really feel all that well fleshed-out in the script, despite the great performances.

Genelde Oscarlar vesilesiyle peyda olan bokslu, dövüşlü filmlerin fersah fersah ötesinde, aile bağları, saplantılar, hatta milliyetçiliğe dair mühim sözleri olan çok iyi çekilmiş, çok iyi oynanmış bir film. Ses bantına ayrıca şapka çıkarıyorum izninizle. Bennett Miller bir de futbol filmi mi çekse...

One of those films, where I don't get what all the fuzz is about. Good acting yes, but that alone doesn't make a movie. There is basically no story to tell. At least not an interesting one. For me this was mostly dull and pointless.
