Review of Foxcatcher

Deserved to be one of the 8 nominees. Straight, well acted (Carell is the best, Tatum imitates wrestling gestures), good use of the ambiguity of wrestling phisical touches. The big conflict (poor devils, the wrestlers)is between Carell and his mother (the best scene is when she enters the training room). The making of a fictitious world, with speech writers and documentarists, had to end in tragedy.
