Sober Film Critic James Brown | 70 | - Foxcatcher is one intense thriller that's got plenty of film critics fawning all over it. There's just one tiny problem. I'm not one of them. (full review) |
Bryan Lienesch | 65 | - Where the film would have you believe it's being meticulous, it's actually just dragging it's feet. The fact that Ruffalo, Tatum, and Carrell all turn in remarkable performances is wasted by the fact that you're constantly looking at your watch. |

Le Anne of Tinsel And Tine | 56.6 | - Steve Carell plays the wealthy, eccentric, oddball, murderer John du Pont with perhaps a little too much characterization. Everyone's been praising Carell for losing himself in a dramatic roll; but for me, the transformative hair, prosthetic nose, extensive makeup, small teeth and overly stiff upward tilt of the head, is all a bit distracting. I think it should've been cast with someone more naturally weird and unattractive. It would have been a perfect role for the sadly deceased Philip Seymour Hoffman. (full review) |
