Foxcatcher (2014)
7/10
Great but slow
28 March 2023
Foxcatcher is a fantastic true crime drama with excellent acting by Mark Ruffalo, Channing Tatum, and Steve Carell especially who is unrecognizable. Foxcatcher suffers from one thing and one thing only, length. For a film that is the standard 2hrs and change, there is really nothing filling that. Without getting into spoilers, while the descent of Steve Carell's character is definitely there and the ending, while shocking, makes sense for him, the extremely slow pace of the movie makes that payoff feel unearned. For something to take so much time just to have the most exciting part last for a minute, leaves at least me personally somewhat unsatisfacted. I would recommend watches this if u enjoy slow paced character dramas, but be prepared cause it is extremely slow.
