Foxcatcher

The state of amateur athletics in the 80s…whoa. The reward received paled in comparison to the commitment. These Olympic champions were struggling financially and were preyed upon by a paranoid aristocrat desperate for approval (maternal) and recognition (athletic).

Ruffalo and Tatum physically perfected a wrestler’s gait where it seemed they were wrestlers acting instead of the other way around. The cutting weight sequence was amazing. Certainly Carell, made up and monotone reminded us what a creepy and entitled narcissistic baby John du Pont was.

Although slow, I wrap a silver medal around Foxcatcher with 3.25 napkins out of 5.

What do you think?!
