Review of Foxcatcher (2014) by Friskytiger81 — 21 Nov 2014
Yes, incredible performances (Tatum, Ruffalo), but the pacing is off-putting and while it's a deliberate choice to make the performances awkward and disturbing, it did the reverse and never allowed me to get into the story, which is not all that interesting to begin with.
Yes, an unsettling film, but not disturbing. The 2:20 runtime for the deliberate pacing is not worth the sacrifice and the overall film and experience suffers greatly. The totality of the film feels very forced and unnatural.
And I really wanted to appreciate this film.
