FOXCATCHER! Great Movie

FOXCATCHER is a flat out masterpiece of a movie. A profound and quietly poetic character portrait that descends deep into the cesspool of American hedonism with subtlety and a biting, unflinching harshness. All at once, this film is a chilling study of mental illness, a moving tale of brotherhood and a Shakespearean tragedy on country, wealth and sport. Steve Carell, Mark Ruffalo and a revelatory Channing Tatum all deliver complex, layered, performances that exercise restraint more than showy, Oscar bait emotion. Ultimately, they help drive home the true message of Foxcatcher, which is that the American dream is after all, only a dream...

All in all, based on actual events, FOXCATCHER is a gripping and profoundly American story of fragile men who pinned their hopes for love and redemption on a desperate obsession for greatness that was to end in tragedy. A must watch!!
