Foxcatcher is the truly bizarre story of John Du Pont, heir to the Du Pont fortune, and his obsession with the Olympic wrestler Mark Schultz.
Steve Carell is unrecognizable here under heavy prosthetics and make up, and he's oh sooooo good.
Likewise, Tatum and Ruffalo bring their A-game.
Tatum is completely riveting as Mark, he's barely recognizable as the heavy brute with an underbite. He's a very physical actor and uses his body here expertly. So many actors take their bodies and faces for granted. Not Tatum, he uses his whole being masterfully.
This is a quiet, slow-burn, but rather intense film.
4/5
