Review of Foxcatcher (2014) by Blaidlaw — 13 Jan 2015
I'll add a review for the Steve Carell movie Foxcatcher because it was so distasteful I would have walked if it was not -20 Celsius outside. The director and script writer have no idea of pace or timing. They created a cast of characters no sane person could ever care about. Fill in some details! make care when misfortune befalls them! And yes I realize this is a true story but if the people are so uninteresting why tell it all? Actually they use the age old phrase "based on a true story". Do they mean their version is embellished? Simply not possible.
As an example of the inanity of the script our protagonist is told to never talk to Dupont's (carell's) wife if should run into her on the estate grounds. She does not show up on even one frame of film?
Huh? (apologies if I dozed off).
