Bennett Miller's sports movieFoxcatcher- based on a grisly true story - is a superb tragicomedy of the beta-male. It is a gripping film which gets you in a hold and won't let go
A great, insidiously gripping psychological drama... the sole credible awards-season heavyweight to have emerged from this year's Cannes
