The stylized drama is at once oddly intimate and creepily voyeuristic and Carrell’s performance both unsettling and somewhat unsatisfying.

Without a doubt, the effort and the talent is there in front of and behind the camera, but, somewhere, this film drowned itself out and lost the core of what really mattered.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 13, 2024

In 21st-century cinema, Foxcatcher emerges not merely as a film, but as a haunting exploration of ambition, power, and the dark undercurrents of the American Dream.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Sep 21, 2024

Miller exposes in detail the fighter's physical experience and the tensions between these two brothers, and then contrasts them with the world of the eccentric philanthropist and benchmark of the powerful chemical emporium... [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 12, 2023

...the story is always compelling, and watching Carrell, Tatum, and Ruffalo engage this material is a treat.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 20, 2022

Because Miller and his writers have left so much up for interpretation about du Pont’s motivations, attentive moviegoers are required to soak up the fine distinctions in the three central performances.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jul 16, 2022

Hypnotically eerie drama... well worth the time and effort it demands.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 30, 2022

Carell could have quite easily played him as a figure of fun but, to his credit, he delivers a nuanced performance that even manages to evoke a little sympathy.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Jun 27, 2022

Armed with a layered screenplay and excellent performances, Foxcatcher manages to create another harrowing tale of true-life tragedy that speaks to something as grand as American dynasties, to an intimate examination of isolation and greed.

| Original Score: 10/10 | May 27, 2022

With a tip of the hat in the direction of Langston Hughes, let it be noted that Foxcatcher isn't so much a study of a dream deferred but of the American Dream deferred.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Aug 18, 2021

Buoyed by interesting, unexpected performances and an unnerving tone but adds little to the examination of the complex issues that lie at the center of the story.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 2, 2021

The movie is unusual in its sharp portrayal of the American aristocracy's sense of entitlement almost to the point of madness.

Foxcatcher is a film that simultaneously lands on both ends of the quality spectrum. All three lead actors are fantastic ... surrounded by ... an awful film.

With minimum gestures, Steve Carrell transforms into a bone-chilling character. [Full review in Spanish]

Bennett Miller's Foxcatcher is a sports drama, inspired by true events, which is responsible for showing the DuPont case with the best performances of Steve Carell, Mark Ruffalo and Channing Tatum. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 7/10 | Jun 26, 2020

Miller's motto seems to be, "You like that shot? I got four more just like it!" The final product seems flat and often downright boring.

| Jan 9, 2020

An almost unrecognizable Carrell makes a meal of Dupont's chilly eccentricity, but it's Ruffalo and Tatum who give the most surprising performances.

| Aug 8, 2019

Foxcatcher is an impressive film that depicts the double edged sword of male camaraderie, a blade that offers safety and comfort while unintentionally fomenting jealousy and contempt.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Jul 16, 2019

Foxcatcher is a fascinating study of dedication, loneliness and power. In many ways it's a tonally opposite companion to Whiplash. Sadly, it's also nowhere near as good.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 31, 2019

With Bennett Miller's Foxcatcher, we have a film which, despite devoting significant screentime to the sport of large men in tights, has as its main theme the absolutely corrosive effect of too much money on just about everything.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Apr 4, 2019
