United States	Justin Chang Variety	"This insidiously gripping psychological drama is a model of bleak, bruising, furiously concentrated storytelling (...) Miller here confirms his stature as a poet of plain-looking America"	POS
United States	Todd McCarthy The Hollywood Reporter	"A superbly modulated study of a twisted mind with a career-changing performance by Steve Carell (...) 'Foxcatcher' sees director Bennett Miller well surpassing even the fine work he did in his previous two films"	POS
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"A gripping film: horrible, scary and desperately sad (...) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United States	Manohla Dargis The New York Times	"Mr. Miller does his finest work with his three superb leads."	POS
United States	Claudia Puig USA Today	"It's so well-acted that audiences won't want to miss its dark, chilling yet restrained story. (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"The hypnotic and haunting 'Foxcatcher' can prove its worth as one of the year's very best films. Steve Carell, Channing Tatum and Mark Ruffalo give the performances of their lives. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Eric Kohn IndieWire	"Though anchored by a affecting and sullen turn by Channing Tatum, the movie derives its primary discomfiting power from Steve Carell in a revelatory performance as a monster of American wealth."	POS
