Foxcatcher

What I liked:

• Steve Carell, Channing Tatum, and Mark Ruffalo all give wonderful performances.
• It's based on a true story.
• Hair, make up, and whoever made the prosthetics all did a fantastic job.

What I didn't like:

• I am surprised that they cast Sienna Miller in such a small role.
• A lot of people are talking about Carell's performance because they see it as a stretch for a comedic actor to play a serious part.  And a lot of people are talking about Ruffalo's performance because he is awesome as usual.  But not a lot of people are talking about Tatum's performance and I think that is the most transforming.  Tatum always plays the cute, fun, charming guy.  In this role, he was able to go dead behind the eyes and play a haunting and lonely man.
• The story is slow moving and at times boring.
• There has to be more to the story that they are not telling.  There is a lot of innuendo and hinting that something else might be going on behind the scenes.
