I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Great Film overall

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Not your typical sports-themed movie. Unfolds slowly but entertains. Great acting from all three leads. Didn't recognise Steve Carell under his makeup. And the wonderful Vanessa Redgrave makes an appearance. Being based on true events adds another dimension.

This was a little (lot) vague at times, whereas at the end I had to Google the events that happened to get the whys of it. Based on a true story about millionaire John Du Pont and his relationship with two brothers, Dave & Mark Schultz, Olympic wrestlers he engages to train at his estate so that he can be an "Olympic coach." Mark initially idolizes Du Pont but slowly realizes the depths of his benefactors madness.Things are hinted at...sexual misconduct and the actual murder is done in such a vague way it doesn't appear to have any motivation. Its slow at times and sorta feels like a documentary in its style which keeps the viewer at a distance. The make up and acting from all involved is phenomenal though. Steve Carell, wow creepy brilliant job. Channing Tatum and Mark Ruffalo as the brothers also do a great job.

Foxcatcher is a long movie but it never gets boring and that's something. As a Belgian I never heard of this story so for me it was all a surprise. I like movies based on a true story, certainly one like this one. The make-up crew should also get credits because what they did to Steve Carrell and Channing Tatum was very well done. It's because Steve Carrell as a specific voice that I recognized him immediately but with his changed physics I could have been fooled. He plays a really annoying character, one of those rich guys that thinks you can buy anybody or anything. But he did a very good job playing that arrogant prick. Channing Tatum looks like he came out straight of a cavern. He also did a good job, like all the rest of the cast. The story is interesting to watch and the end was surprising to me. I'm not a big fan of the wrestling sport but for this story it doesn't matter if you like it or not. Certainly worth a watch.

The Foxcatcher account is a haunting tale of heartbreak, misery, and unfulfilled aspirations.John du Pont is a cryptic and rare individual set on an incessant quest to impress and win the affection of others. A conflicted man, clearly never been the favorable one among his peers, Mr. du Pont's unpredictable manner is sure to keep your eyes fixed on him the entire time––thanks to Steve Carell's precise and spine-chilling portrayal.The film has a subtle and eerie tone throughout the 134 minutes, and is coated with a slow, unapologetic pace brilliantly delivered by Bennett Miller. I believe Mr. Miller strives for compassion in a lot of his films and doesn't care much for villains. And that is exactly what you come out with, or at least what I came out with after watching this movie. It will force your rib cage wide open and then cause turmoil and have your heart and mind quarrel.Mark Ruffalo and Chaninng Tatum deliver powerful performances, and although very brief on screen, the great Mrs. Redgrave is yet again, simply marvelous.I would recommend this movie to absolutely everyone. 9/10
