The movie unquestionably has an eerie haunting quality, but there is something lacking in the last third of the movie. Everything becomes slower and less interesting. Although the movie is decent, it feels kind of pointless.

Everything about this movie is good (the acting, story, direction).... but the pacing is way too f*cking slow. I love when the pace is slow but at some degree, and Foxcatcher's pace is way too much. Some parts were interesting, other parts were unfortunately boring. This film boasts a beautifully written screenplay, Steve Carell and Channing Tatum just shine in this movie and the directing is really quite good, but the pace is plodding. I bet there are some people that will enjoy it, but I just can't. I can't be involved in a movie that is heavily paced like "Foxcatcher". Not a bad movie, just a disappointing one. Expand

Foxcatcher is a boring movie. It has terrific acting, an incredible story, and if you sit down with a bunch of psychologists to deduce everything that happened on screen, I’m sure you are going to have a lot to talk about, for they are going to give to the movie an incredible analysis that you would have never expected. But you are not going to do that. And the story is told in a very slow way, getting the movie to be extremely long. As I said, is an excellent story about a depressed rich man who never achieved anything in his life; and the ending is quite unexpected and incredible, but everything before it is all very slow and boring.

Aside from three outstanding performances this critically acclaimed movie is long, slow and very disappointing. Certainly not worth the eager anticipation afforded by a year's wait. Based on true events, and despite a menacing undercurrentAside from three outstanding performances this critically acclaimed movie is long, slow and very disappointing. Certainly not worth the eager anticipation afforded by a year's wait. Based on true events, and despite a menacing undercurrent generated by an effective score, one is constantly intrigued but never fully engaged.
Steve Carell perfects a menacingly quizzical stare in a turn that has sparse use for dialogue. Mark Ruffalo is superb, as usual, in a pivotal supporting role, but the real revelation is Channing Tatum. The guy shows us here that he really can act. He is undoubtedly the best reason to endure 'Foxcatcher'. Awards bound it may be, but a classic film. Never!

Really haunting how it all happened, there are some epilogue pieces which should be watched.
In summary, a sad drama about some terrible circumstances, but it's all true (the level of accuracy may be a bit much at times). See it if you like dramas, or sports montages. It had a very dark, moody feel to it throughout.

Like his earlier film CAPOTE, Miller wants to make some sort of statement about America, class difference, politics and all that jazz but unfortunately, the film has about as many insights as a freshman high school student who has just discovered the world around him. The odd is never odd enough. The sad never sad enough. The film is loaded with American flags but so what? Sadly, the three main performances also fall flat. They too are more surface. The actors never inhabit their roles fully or lead us down a path of anything that might provide insight or clarity. Expand

Aside from a few impressive scenes from Ruffalo, Foxcatcher is the suffocating tale of two unlikeable men told through the solid, but one-note performances written for Carell and Tatum. If I'm asked to watch a film that doesn't want me to breathe, my only request is that I'm at least drowned in a sea consisting of more than one shade of blue.

I think there actually is a great story to tell among this set of characters, but Miller unfortunately chose the wrong one; the real god was in Redgrave raising her prized horses alongside her disappointing and troubled son.

Easily one of the most overrated offerings of this year's awards season. Expand

Unfortunately after sitting through 2 hours of very slow paced film I still don't know why, there was no explanation why he snapped, he acted strange from beginning to end. Also, why did the 21 Jump Street dude, who called him a father, suddenly act like a dick towards the 40 Year old Virgin guy? Because he gave him a slap after missing a practice? That's a good reason to get slapped, especially since 40 Year Old Virgin is paying for everything. Potentially a great film if it made more sense. Expand

I do have to admit that at some parts it was mesmerizing, entertaining, well-shot and exceptionally developed at some aspects, but it was just so stressful to watch. Through the movie a lot of scenes and development from the context and characters were unnecessary and redundant that it left you expecting something to happen and when something actually happened you ended up not giving a s*** about the events. I don't see it as a bad movie, i really appreciate a lot of aspects presented on the film and it didn't felt like an "oscar bait" movie (that's a good thing), but it was just a little boring and had a lot of redundant and unnecessary presentation.

I mean there is rock bottom, 50 feet of crap and then him. Well definitely he climbed up with this movie, that the film is not good is something completely different. It's extremely boring and unimaginably slow. The protagonist is erratic, is difficult to understand his thoughts according to his actions and the picture of the coach that he has created is incomprehensible, du Pont is like a father/ brother/ friend/ boss? btw horrible performance by Tatum. Then we have his brother, Mark Ruffalo certainly does some justice to the character, the relationship between both is repeatedly shown as him overshadowing the protagonist. Finally, John du Pont, the worst thing of the movie is the attempt to exhibit the relation with his mother, just like in Moneyball where the connection father-daughter was a disaster. And the ending is a desperate intent of resurrection, clearly unsuccessful. For the ones that say: that's the story you can't change it; it's BASED on true events, it's not a documentary. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Director Bennett Miller has done a major disservice to audiences with the ending he provided for this movie. The movie makes it seem that John Du Pont shot Mark Schultz's brother Dave because he was upset with Mark leaving Du Pont's training facility. What happened in real life was that John Du Pont was angry with brother Dave Schultz for accepting a coaching position elsewhere. Although the story was interesting and the acting was good, particularly Steve Carrell as John Du Pont, there is nothing like a major factual misrepresentation to spoil a movie for me. Expand

All 3 leads are fantastic, but overall I just felt the story wasn't engaging enough to justify the movie itself because of it's disjointed qualities. It wasn't a waste by any means and it's obvious to see that many talented people were involved and sure gave it their all, it just feels like a lot of the movie is incidental.. Most of the movie plays out and has a lot of interesting points, and then (without telling you) the movie's timeline skips almost a decade to get to the shock ending. The audience is then supposed to buy that the relationships and motivations between and of characters haven't changed a bit because we aren't informed about the big time gap between scenes. It very much feels as if the movie is missing connective tissue to properly tie the ending to the rest of the movie. You could have told almost a completely different story before the ending and the ending would've fit just as well with it because of how non-tied to the main story it feels. Of course, it's hard to give proper motivation to a mentally ill man in a based on a true story flick, but that doesn't make the ending any less abrupt and lacking closure for the story. Expand

It, sadly,Ultimately, Foxcatcher was a disappointment for me. After loving Bennett Miller's first two features, Capote and Moneyball, I had high hopes that with such interesting subject matter and a great cast, this one would be a home run. It, sadly, was not. However, it is still far from a bad film and instead above average. It is well-written and features some stellar acting from Steve Carell, Mark Ruffalo, and Channing Tatum. The mise en scene is also quite strong and the makeup is stellar. Carell's complete transformation into John Du Pont being the stand out when it comes to the makeup. Incredible work. The costume design is also quite good. However, this one is decidedly not a great film despite these positives because it is far too slow and really plodded along for much of the film. If it had half of the intensity featured in the trailer and was a touch shorter, it would have been a far better film, but as it stood, despite the creepy and odd atmosphere present in every scene, most scenes lacked the intensity needed. There is considerable tension found in most scenes, but they don't have much of an impact. Overall, Foxcatcher could have been far better, but as it stands, is a solid film that continues to show Bennett Miller as a great director who knows his way around biographical dramas. Expand

All the fuss over the performances can be chalked up to an SNL level sketch with simple prosthetics.

Once I saw the movie I was baffled, it is undeniable that the performances are brilliant, the three leads brought their A game. It's a very psychological film, which means you should see it rested and ready to think, you have to pay attention to the nuances and the progression of the characters. It's not delivered on a silver platter, as a matter of fact it's a very solemn film, very simple with no tricks.

I recognize that the performances are mind-blowing, the story is very interesting but boy I was bored. There are a lot of long silences, I mean long, it works for the psychological drama that it is and I get that it helps set up the tone and pace but it’s slightly too much for me. The same goes for the cold, bleak, chilling atmosphere, it suits the movie well and makes total sense but I was not into it.

Foxcatcher has all of the right quality ingredients for such a story but maybe, just maybe there are slightly too much of the quality stuff. It also definitely did not help that I wanted to pee the whole time but I did not have the amazing experience most people seem to have had.

I really wanted to like this movie more than I did. It did well at two things: creepiness and showing the wrestling world. But it was so overshadowed by make-up and mannerisms that it was hard to watch.

Both Tatum and Ruffalo looked like they were trying to play retarded. And they succeeded. If they had played it without the underbite (Tatum) and monkey walk (both), it would have been more believable. Yes, wrestlers do walk a certain way, being muscle-bound -- but not like portrayed in the movie. I kept expecting them to turn to each other and start picking off bugs.

And sorry, Steve Carrell, you did a pretty good job but I would have liked to see the attempt without prosthetics.

I agree that it dragged on and on and then just piddled out until the final scene. The strongest emotion I felt during this movie was when DuPont's assistant in the car didn't grab his arm and prevent him from shooting again. I was thinking -- what is wrong with you? But that scene wasn't worth slogging through the rest of the movie. Most of it was almost unwatchable.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is a sports related drama with biographical elements, containing themes such as training/sports coaching, domination, the Olympics and egomania. I have to say, it felt less a sports film than a character driven drama, generally. I found it to be quite an engrossing film, with some interesting main characters - those depicted all have their own elements, issues and unique personalities. The plot is somewhat slow but it didn't outright bore me out - instead, I found myself quite curious to see what Mr. Du Pont was going to do next, during the build up to the Olympics. There is a definite sense of mystery, of intrigue, surrounding him, or so I felt anyway.

I found it a somewhat sad watch in parts, with Mr. Du Pont clearly in a somewhat deluded way - very idealistic for one thing. It seemed like perhaps he was only convincing himself of some of what he said, as others close to him seem at times unsure and reluctant in terms of how to behave in his presence.

Music wise, there are some sombre pieces played during certain scenes, featuring slowly played piano keys and the like. It implies Mr Du Pont's undoubted fragility. I thought it helped add atmosphere to the film during said key scenes and as such was well chosen.

Cast wise, John Du Pont is played by Steve Carell, who must have gone through a fair amount of makeup to resemble John's appearance, as a somewhat hardened, beaten down and weary older guy. John is primarily depicted as quite eccentric, random and impulsive. However, I also found it surprising that Mark Schultz (played by Channing Tatum) seemed so reticent, which he does - he seems very unsure about things, the situation he has been landed in and he appears to be somewhat of a philosophical sorts. I suppose he is also relatively self assured, as you'd expect a professional wrestler to be. Other cast members include Mark Ruffalo, as Mark's brother, David, Sienna Miller as Nancy Schultz and Vanessa Redgrave as John's mother, Jean Du Pont. His mother appears quite frail but sounds slightly more domineering.

Content wise, the film contains partial nudity due to the lack of clothing on wrestlers, drug references and one or two scenes of drugs being taken plus mild to moderate violence - mostly in the form of gunfire/gunshots and of course there are scenes of wrestling matches shown, which inevitably contains man to man combat/violence of a sorts. There is little in the way of very strong language. Generally, the film has a somewhat dark tone to it, with it covering some gritty themes and thus it may perhaps upset some people, probably mainly due to the actions of one of the main characters. Having said that, it certainly isn't especially graphic or intensely frightening as such, in the way that slasher style horror films can be, as although there are moments where blood is visible on screen, there isn't much in the way of gore at all. That aside, the film does come with a 15 rating due to the mature themes, drug references and other content I mentioned.


Criticisms wise, there's little I can think to say, other than that it is a relatively bleak watch, in terms of the themes and how the plot pans out (I won't elaborate so as not to hopefully spoil the film for anyone not aware of the story). The relatively slow-ish plot pace may well not suit all but otherwise there's little to criticise.
