Review: Foxcatcher

Seen 3/15/15

2.5/4

Sigh. I am disappointed to say that this is little more than a sports drama. I am also disappointed to say that this is a true story. Therefore, the title means nothing; thematic cohesiveness is murdered for faithfulness; there are no "ideas" driving the work of art. It's watching Dateline.
The acting is tremendous, and the unknown-to-me world of wrestling is interesting, but Foxcatcher is a sad disappointment after what I saw in the previews and in the actors.
