Based on a true story that made headlines in the late 1990s, Bennett Miller's Foxcatcher is a superb psychological drama that features Oscar-worthy performances from Channing Tatum as an emotionally repressed Olympic gold medal-winning wrestler, Mark Ruffalo as his supportive brother, and a barely recognizable Steve Carell, playing a scion of one of America's wealthiest families. With a screenplay by E. Max Frye and Dan Futterman, the film brings to life the tragic consequences of an emotionally dependent relationship built on psychological control and delivers it with relentless tension.
