Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Director Bennett Miller ("Capote," "Moneyball") has a fascinating story here and he knows it.
Watch this film for the performances: Tatum and Ruffalo finding new ground in familiar personas; Carell immersing himself into the mindset of a troubled man ...
Foxcatcher is too cold of a movie to love, but that chilliness is intentional and transfixing, a parable about the darkest corners of the minds of damaged men that dares to whisper instead of shout.
If you're willing to be thrown for a loop, you're in good hands with this medal-worthy cast and crew.
