Foxcatcher

Rent & Buy
The greatest Olympic Wrestling Champion brother team joins Team Foxcatcher led by multimillionaire sponsor John E. du Pont as they train for the 1988 games in Seoul - a union that leads to unlikely circumstances.
What critics thought
Bennett Miller's slow-burn true-crime drama earned widespread praise for its three central performances, with Carell's transformation into John du Pont drawing particular attention as a career-defining turn. The dissenting voice worth noting is that for some critics, the film's icy restraint ultimately withholds more than it reveals — leaving du Pont's psychology opaque rather than illuminatingly disturbing.
“Steve Carell, Mark Ruffalo and Channing Tatum give superb performances in Bennett Miller's powerfully disturbing true-crime saga.”
Justin Chang·Variety
“he [Miller] hits his stride with a stunning portrayal of psychopathy and moral decadence in the unlikely environment of Olympic wrestling.”
Donald Clarke·The Irish Times
“offers us next to nothing of utility or complexity about du Pont's pathology.”
