Watched "Foxcatcher" last night.

Factually inaccurate and boring as hell. Slow dialogue. Channing Tatum and Mark Ruffalo hunched like gorillas. Steve Carell with a nose that grew and receded like Pinocchio's. What a disappointment.
This would have been a much better movie if the producer/director had centered it around the lunatic life of John du Pont instead of the seemingly retarded Mark Schultz (or did they make that up, too?).
I haven't seen the 30 for 30 "Prince of Pennsylvania" but I'm sure it must be better than this.

Super boring movie and it skips like five years of maddness. After Mark leaves it kinda cuts to right before he kills Dave. But that was a seven year gap. 
If you watch the ESPN 30 on 30 about the incident it's much better and not boring at all.

I liked it. Carrell was really good. Tatum walked and talked like a retarded caveman but I didn't mind.

I didn't necessarily like it, but I didn't know the "story". I was sort of on the edge of my seat. At the end, I was very unsettled and on the verge of nauseated.
I definitely wouldn't watch it again, but I didn't regret watching it.

The more I look up the true stories behind movies, the less I've come to expect from Hollywood. But in all relativity they weren't that far off. They for sure condensed the timeline, and though Dupont's weirdo advances were documented, Mark strongly denied the scenes of late night wrasslin, hair cutting and such.
That said, the Shultz family was around during filming (those were Dave's glasses Ruffalo was wearing) and watching the 30/30 last night, they nailed some of the visual aspects.
I do agree on the overdone monkey-walk, but the pacing didn't bother me and I thought it had one of the best scores of the year. I also thought Mark's hotel freakout was an extremely powerful scene. He really busted his head during the shot.
I'd recommend watching both versions.
