In an exciting atmosphere, this documentary follows the true story of Dave Schultz, a well known wrestler. The series follows his struggles and joining the Team Foxcacher till his death.
It's the absence of Dave's brother and athletic partner, Mark, that most glaringly sticks out in director Jon Greenhalgh's film. That incompleteness is a nagging issue throughout, though it shouldn't hinder this otherwise sterling documentary's appeal ...
In his directorial debut, Jon Greenhalgh presents a focused account of the events leading up to Dave's death at the hands of millionaire John Du Pont, owner of the exclusive, titular Pennsylvania wrestling facility, Team Foxcatcher.
Team Foxcatcher hold up by itself like a great documentary about John du Pont and the events that transpired on the Foxcatcher farm, but it also complements greatly what we saw in the movie Foxcatcher. [Full review in Spanish]
The fictionalized Foxcatcher film had an eagle-eyed focus on du Pont's relationship with Schultz's brother Mark. With that removed, Team Foxcatcher showcases the collective guilt and complicity of innocent people.
